Connecting Parallel Cable
Use the parallel port when directly
connecting the printer to a personal
computer.
Caution
Make sure the printer is turned off
before connecting the parallel cable.
Note
To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284
compliant parallel cable (these cables
are clearly marked with “IEEE-1284”).
Only IEEE-1284 cables support all of
the printer’s advanced features.
1 Connect the parallel cable to the
parallel port.
2 Snap the wire clips in place to
secure the cable to the printer.
The cable should install easily. If
installation is difficult, check the
cable orientation.
Connect the other end of the cable to
the proper connector on the computer.
