Connecting to the parallel interface

The computer’s Centronics

®

-compatible parallel interface uses a 25-pin,

D-shaped female connector. Most Epson printers have parallel interfaces.

To connect a printer to the main unit, you need an IBM-compatible printer

cable. If you are not sure which one you need, consult your Epson dealer.
Once you have a printer cable, follow these steps to connect your printer to
the parallel interface on the main unit:

1. Place the printer next to your computer.

2. Before you connect the printer, make sure the power switches on the

main unit, monitor, and printer are off.

3. One end of the printer cable has a 25-pin, D-shaped male connector.

(See your printer manual if you are not sure which end this is.) Connect

this end to the parallel port on the back panel of the main unit, as

shown below. If the plug has retaining screws, tighten them by hand or

with a screwdriver, depending on the screw type.
