Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
To connect your computer to your printer’s built-in parallel
interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with
a D-SUB, 25-pin, male connector for your computer and a
36-pin Centronics
®
compatible connector for the printer.
If your computer requires a different type of printer interface,
you should be able to use one of the optional interfaces
described on page 7-2.
Follow the steps below to connect the printer to your computer
using the built-in parallel interface.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. The
printer is off when the surface of the
Operate
button is even
with the button protectors.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface
connector.
