Connecting a local printer

3
Do not connect the printer cable if the computer's power is on. Doing so
may damage the printer, the computer, or both.
Before you can connect a printer, you need to know whether it uses a
serial or a parallel interface. Look in the printer's docu mentation to find
out. If the printer can be switched between serial and parallel, choose
parallel because it is faster.
You also need a suitable printer cable, which may come with your printer.
Otherwise, you can purchase one from a com puter or electronics store.
If your printer is ECP- or IEEE-compliant, make sure your printer cable is
an IEEE 1284 cable.
These instructions assume you have a parallel printer, which is the most
common type.
I 1. Connect the printer cable to the printer and to the com puter's
d parallel port. Use the illustration as a connection guide.
