Connecting a Printer to the Parallel Port
To connect a parallel device to the notebook, you need the standard 25-pin connector
parallel cable mentioned earlier. Your notebook’s Parallel Port IRQ and I/O address is
factory-default set to Auto (detect). This should be adequate for the connection of most
parallel devices. In some cases, however, you may need to make specific changes to the
parallel port’s IRQ and I/O address to suit the parallel device. Enter the BIOS Setup
Program and open the Peripherals sub-menu. Please refer to Chapter 3 for detailed
instructions.
Connect a printer to the notebook as follows:
1. Connect the printer signal cable to the parallel port on the rear of the notebook.
Tighten the thumb screws (Figure 4-2, step 1).
2. Connect the printer’s power cord to a wall outlet (Figure 4-2, step 2).
3. Turn on the printer.
