About Connecting the Printer to Your PC
You can connect the printer to your PC using one of these cables:
• Serial cable
• USB cable
• IEEE 1284 parallel printer adapter cable (optional)
Connect the Printer Using a Serial Cable
You can use a serial connection to communicate with your PC and to
run PrintSet or InterDriver. You can also use the serial port to send
commands directly to the printer through a terminal connection.
Before you can establish a serial connection, make sure the settings on
the PC match those of your printer.
1 Connect one end of the DB9 to DB9 RS-232 cable to the back of
your printer and connect the other end of the cable to a serial COM
port on the PC.
2 If necessary, change the PC serial port configuration to match your
printer.
