Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
Your printer is equipped with both an IEEE-1284-compatible parallel
interface and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. It also includes a
Type-B optional interface slot in case your computer requires a different
type of printer interface. (See the Reference Guide if you need to install an
interface card.)
Note:
You can connect cables to both interfaces; the printer switches automatically to
the appropriate interface when it receives data.
To connect your computer to your printer’s built-in parallel interface,
you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with a 36-pin Centronics
®
compatible connector for the printer. To connect the printer to a USB
port, you need a standard, shielded USB cable.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off, then
connect the parallel or USB cable to the printer.
2. Connect the other end to your computer.
c
Caution:
There are several models of the printer designed for different voltages, and
it is not possible to adjust the printer for use with another voltage. If the
label on the back of the printer does not show the correct voltage for your
country, contact your dealer.
