■ Double-speed (2 x ) CD-ROM drive (quad-speed [4 x ] or faster recommended) for
installing the printer software
■ For parallel connection: a high-speed, bidirectional, IEEE-1284 compliant
parallel cable (6 to 10 feet long); the cable must have a D-SUB, 25-pin, male
connector for your computer and a 36-pin, Centronics
® compatible connector for
the printer
For USB connection: a computer running Windows 98 with a Windows 98
compliant USB port and a shielded USB “AB” cable from Series A (computer) to
Series B (printer), up to 6.5 ft. (2 meters) long.
Using an improperly shielded USB cable—especially a cable
more than 6.5 ft. (2 meters) long—may cause the printer to
malfunction.
