Connecting a Printer Cable
For Local Printing
To print from your computer in a local environment, you need to
connect your printer to the computer with either a parallel
interface cable or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.
If you are a Macintosh user, you can use only the USB cable.
Using a Parallel Cable
NOTE:
To connect the printer to the parallel port of the computer
requires a certified parallel cable. You will need to buy a IEEE1284
compliant cable.
1
Make sure that both the printer and the computer are
turned off.
2
Plug the parallel printer cable into the connector on the
back of the printer.
Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the
cable plug.
3
Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface
port on your computer, and tighten the screws.
See your computer User’s Guide, if you need help.
