Connecting Power and Cables

The following steps describe how to connect power and data cables.

1. Connect a data cable (parallel, serial, USB, or Ethernet) to the

connector on the back of the printer.

NOTE: A null modem cable is required for serial connections. Do NOT use
a standard serial cable.

For parallel connections, use a standard, non-bidirectional (Centronix

)

cable. The parallel port must be configured as an LPT port, not an ECP
port.

2. Connect the cable from the power supply to the power connector

on the back of the printer.

IMPORTANT!

Use only the 19VAC power supply provided with the printer.
