Connecting a Printer or Other Device

The Equity 386SX has a parallel interface, a serial interface, and

an auxiliary mouse connector. To connect a printer or other
peripheral device to one of these interfaces, follow the

instructions below. Of course, Epson offers a full range of

printers; check with your dealer for more information.

Using the Parallel Interface

The Equity 386SX parallel interface is Centronics®-compatible

and uses a DB-25S connector.

To connect a printer to the computer, you need an IBM-

compatible printer cable. If you are not sure which one you

need, check with your Epson dealer.

Once you have the correct printer cable, follow these steps to
connect your printer to the parallel interface on the computer:

1. Be sure the power switches on the computer, monitor, and

printer are off.

2. Place the printer next to the computer.
