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.
Using a Parallel Cable
N OTE : To connect the printer to the parallel port of the computer
requires a certified parallel cable. You will need to buy an

turned off.

back of the printer.
Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the
cable plug.

port on your computer, and tighten the screws.
