Parallel Cable Connection
The type of cable required varies depending on the computer you are using. Make sure to use the interface
cable compliant with your computer.
• For users outside the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and
connectors must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet
emission limits.
• For users in the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors
must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet FCC emission
limits.
• The printer's parallel connection is a standard bidirectional interface that requires an IEEE 1284-
compliant half pitch 36-pin parallel cable and host computer parallel port.
• Use shielded interface cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic interference.
1. Turn off the printer and computer.
2. Remove the cable cover.
