Chapter 1: Setup

Before making any connections, turn off both your printer and your
computer.
Connecting the interface cable to your printer is very simple.
1. Figure 1-7 shows the connector, which is on the right side of
your printer, near the rear. Move the small wire latches out
of the way and fit the cable connector onto the printer
connector. They are designed to fit only one way, so this is a
foolproof connection. Be sure the connectors are firmly
attached, but do not use a lot of force; it is possible to bend
or break the connector pins.
2. Press the wire latches into place to hold the cable in place.
The parallel and serial interface can each be connected to a computer if you have
more than one computer you want to use with the GSX-190. The interfaces work
on a "first come, first served" basis; the interface that receives data first becomes
the active interface and remains active until you turn the printer off and on again.
When an interface is active, the other one is not used, even if data is sent while
the active interface is not receiving data.
