Connecting the interface cable
The printer andcomputer are connected by acable along which the computer
transmits the documents that you want to print. A cable is not supplied as
standard equipmemt with this printer. There are two sorts of cable that you
can use: a standard 36-pin Centronics parallel cable or the serial cable that
you can purchase as an option with the printer.
Connecting the printer to a computer using a parallel cable is generally
simpler; however, the length of the parallel cable should not be more than 6
feet, otherwise the transfer of information between your computer and the
printer may be impaired. A serial connection can, for all practical purposes,
be as long as you 1ike,but is a little more complicated to set up. Buy the type
of cable which will best suit your needs.
If you need to connect to a serial port, use the optional SeriaI interface
cartridge, IS-8XL.
