Requirements
Before using this machine, make sure that all the environmental and electrical
requirements have been met. Connect the machine to the host computer using
the parallel port, Network Interface Board, or both.
Make sure that all the cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to at-
tach the machine to the host computer or network are present.
Important
❒ The interface cable is not supplied. It is your responsibility to provide the in-
terface cable appropriate for the computer that you are using.
Reference
For Ethernet Board connection, see p.18 “Connecting the Network Cable to
the Machine”.
For more information about using the parallel port, see p.20 “Connecting the
Machine to the Host Using the Parallel Cable”.
Interface cable requirements
As the cables may differ depending on the type of computer, make sure you
check your computer and prepare the appropriate cable.
Note
❒ Use a shielded cable for the interface cable. Using another cable, instead of
shielded cables, may cause radio interference.
Parallel cable requirements
Connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel port. This machine
does not provide the parallel cable to connect the machine to the host computer.
The machine's parallel interface is a standard bidirectional interface. It requires
a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port
available on the host computer.
Note
❒ Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
