3-2 Setting up the printer
User’s Guide for the ImageCard® IV Printer
Connecting the printer
This section explains how to connect the printer to the PC that runs the printer driver
and then to a power source. It also explains how to connect the optional smart card
cable.
If the printer is connected over a network, see the e-Guide for ImageCard IV Printers
for connection information.
Connect communication cables
1 Attach the interface cable to the ECP parallel port on the PC (step 1 in Figure 3-1).
The interface cable must be a shielded, Type C, IEEE 1284 parallel port cable, up
to a maximum of 6.5 feet (2 meters) long.
Figure 3-1: Attach the interface cable
2 Attach the other end of the interface cable to the printer (step 2 in Figure 3-1).
If the PC has more than one parallel port, make sure you use the ECP-capable
parallel port on the PC. Also, note whether the port is LPT1 or LPT2, so you can
specify the port when installing the printer driver.
