Parallel Connection
❒ The parallel interface cable is not provided with the printer.
❒ The printer's parallel connection is a standard bidirectional interface that re-
quires an IEEE 1284-compliant 36-pin parallel cable and host computer par-
allel port.
❒ Use shielded interface cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic inter-
ference that could cause malfunctions.
A
Turn off the printer and computer.
B
Connect the cable to the interface connector of the IEEE 1284 interface
board.
❒ Voltage rating of the computer's parallel port: DC 5 V (max.)
C
Securely attach the other end of the parallel cable to your computer's
parallel port. Secure the cable.
