Parallel Connection
Important
❒ The parallel interface cable is not supplied with the printer.
❒ The printer's parallel connection is a standard bidirectional interface that re-
quires an IEEE 1284-compliant 36-pin parallel cable and host computer paral-
lel port.
❒ Use shielded interface cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic inter-
ference that could cause malfunctions.
❒ Voltage rating of the computer's parallel port: DC 5 V (max.)
A

B
Connect the cable to the interface socket of the IEEE 1284 interface board.
C
Securely attach the other end of the parallel cable to your computer's paral-
lel port. Secure the cable.
