For information about what type of printer connection your
computer has and about connecting your computer to a

computer.
Parallel Interface
1 Make sure your printer is off before installing the
interface cable.

connector on the side of the printer.
See Figure 12 on
page 20.
CAUTION:
Always insert and remove the interface
cable gently. Press the latching devices on each side
of the interface connector when removing the cable.
