You can connect any standard Centronics-compatible parallel printer to

your computer. All you need is an IBM PC™ parallel printer cable. Your

dealer can supply one or you can purchase one at most computer stores.
The cable’s connectors are designed so that it is impossible for you to

connect them incorrectly. You can also connect a parallel printer to an

optional Advanced Port Replicator. To connect a printer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Insert one end of the cable into the computer’s parallel port.
3. Tighten the screws that fasten the cable connector to the computer’s

parallel port.

4. Insert the other end of the cable into the printer’s parallel connector.
5. Fasten the connector to the printer with the clips on the parallel port.
6. Turn on the printer.
7. Turn on the computer.
