You can purchase fully compliant IEEE 1284 parallel cables from Lexmark.
Windows 95/98/2000—Plug and Play compatibility
The IEEE 1284 compliant parallel port is fully supported by the Microsoft Windows 95/98/
2000 Plug and Play feature. When you connect the Optra W810 to your Microsoft Win-
dows 95/98/2000 computer, Plug and Play automatically recognizes the printer and helps
install the correct printer driver.
Serial communications
To add serial communications capabilities to your printer, install a tri-port card in one of
the two available ISPs or attach the printer to a MarkNet Pro 3 external print server via the
parallel port. For more information on using the serial port on the tri-port card, see
page 190. For more information on using the MarkNet Pro 3, see page 189.
