1-12 Connecting to the Network
Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the GA-1040 can accept print jobs
from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This connection is
advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated networks
using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP or IPX.
The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network port.
TO USE PARALLEL CABLE
1. With the copier and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to the
parallel port of the GA-1040.
See the illustration on page 1-11 for the location of the parallel port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.
3. Turn on the computer and the copier.
4. Proceed to Setup.
To print to the parallel port, you need to set up the parallel port connection (see
“Parallel Setup” on page 2-10). For information on setting up printing, see Getting
Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the Printing Guide.
