off. Connect the USB printer to the USB Type A port
on the side of the enclosure, or connect the parallel
printer to the parallel port connector on the rear con-

2 Make sure the USB cable plug is fully inserted,
or that the parallel connector is tight, but be careful
not to overtighten the connector screws.
