CONNECTING THE INTERFACE CABLE
You need an appropriate interface cable. The parallel interface requires a straight
through 25 pin connector, with male termination on the printer end, or a 36 pin Centronix
Cable. See the interface section for complete pin definition details. The serial interface
requires a DB25 to DB9, or DB9 to DB9 pin null modem crossover cable, with a DB9 pin
female terminal on the printer end, and the appropriate gender connector at the host
computer end. See the communication section for complete pin definition details.
1. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface
connector.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the appropriate terminal on the computer.
