3.2 PRINTER CABLES
Warning: Connection of a serial printer to a parallel port may result in damage to the printer
and/or computer. Connection of a parallel printer to a serial port may result in damage to the
printer and/or computer.
The printer cables needed are standard and available through Microcom Corporation. You will
not need a NULL-modem cable because the printer is DCE equipment.
For parallel connection, use a straight 25 pin male to 25 pin male cable, connected from the
desired parallel port of the host computer to the 25 pin connector on the optional parallel board.
For serial connection, if your host computer has a...
25 pin serial com port - Use a standard 25 pin male to 9 pin male serial cable.
9 pin serial com port - Use a 9 pin female to 9 pin male video extension cable.
