Connecting the Printer to Your PC
Connecting to a parallel interface
To connect the printer to your computer using the built-in parallel
interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable.
Follow these steps to connect your printer.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer's interface
connector. Then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock
in place on both sides. If your cable has a ground wire, connect
it to the ground connector below the interface connector.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer's parallel
interface. If there is a ground wire at the computer end of the
cable, connect it to the ground connector at the back of the
computer.
See “Installing the Printer Software in Your PC” on page 18 for
instructions on installing the printer software. You must install
the printer software before using your printer.
