Using the parallel port
Follow these steps to connect a parallel device to your
computer:
1. Place the parallel device and the computer so that the backs
are facing you.
2. Align the connector end of the parallel cable with the
PARALLEL port and plug it in. If the connector has retaining
screws, tighten them.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel device. To
secure the cable, squeeze the clips at each side of the device
port and push them into place.
4. Plug the parallel device’s power cord into a grounded
electrical outlet.
Be sure to set the multi-mode parallel port to the correct mode
for the device you connected by changing the setting of the
LPT Extended Mode option in the SETUP program, as
described in Chapter 2.
If you use EPP mode (Enhanced Parallel Port) or ECP mode
(Extended Capabilities Port), check your parallel device
software documentation for the correct DMA channel (DRQ)
setting. Then set jumpers JP17 and JP18 to match this setting, as
described in Chapter 4.
Using the serial ports
If you have a printer, a modem, or other device with a serial
interface, you can connect it to one of the serial (RS-232C) ports.
Make sure you have a cable compatible with a DB-9P connector.
To connect a serial device, insert the connector into one of the
ports marked COM1 and COM2. If you are connecting only one
serial device, use the COM1 port.
