Input/Output (I/O) configuration
This section describes how to configure certain network parameters on the printer:
●
Parallel configuration
●
USB configuration
●
Network configuration
●
Connecting to a network or a computer
Parallel configuration
The printer supports network and parallel connections at the same time. A parallel connection is made
by connecting the printer to the computer using a bidirectional parallel cable (IEEE-1284 compliant) with
a connector plugged into the printer parallel port. The cable can be a maximum of 10 meters (30 feet)
long.
When used to describe a parallel interface, the term bidirectional indicates that the printer is able to both
receive data from the computer and send data to the computer through the parallel port. While the
parallel interface provides backwards compatibility, a USB or network connection is recommended to
optimize performance.

The printer supports a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The USB cable can be a maximum of 5 meters (16.4 feet)
long.
Connecting the USB cable
Plug the USB cable into the printer. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the computer.
