Connecting to the parallel interface

You need a shielded, twisted-pair cable (not longer than

2 meters—6 feet) to use the parallel interface.

1. Turn off both the computer and the printer. Plug the parallel

cable connector securely into the printer’s parallel interface.

Squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on

either side of the connector.

2. Guide the interface cable through the slot on the side of the

printer as shown in the illustration on page 1-16 so that it

does not block the paper supply.

Note:

If there is a ground wire at the end of the cable, attach it to the

ground connector to the right of the interface as shown in the

illustration on page 1-15.

3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s parallel

interface. (If there is a ground wire at the end of the cable,

attach it to the ground connector at the back of the

computer.)
