Choosing a Connection Method

Connecting via Parallel
A parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of connection
provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high density parallel printer
cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density 1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum
length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the parallel cable to the printer and the computer while they are
both Off, and then turn them On. Install the printer driver from the Software Pack CD-ROM, and select the
appropriate LPT parallel port.
