Connecting to the Parallel Interface
You’ll need a high-speed, high-quality, bidirectional, IEEE-1284 parallel
cable, not more than 6 feet long. Follow these steps to connect a Windows
system to the printer’s built-in parallel interface:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface.Then
squeeze the wire clips together until they lock into place on both sides.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s parallel port.
See page 1-10 for instructions on installing the printer software. You must
install the software before using the printer.
Note
You can’t use both
the USB and Parallel
interfaces at the same
time.
