Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

To connect your computer to your printer's built-in parallel
interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with
a D-SUB, 25-pin, male connector for your computer and a
36-pin Centronics
If your computer requires a different type of printer interface,
you should be able to use one of the optional interfaces
described on page 7-2.
Follow the steps below to connect the printer to your computer
using the built-in parallel interface.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. The
printer is off when the surface of the Operate button is even
with the button protectors.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer's interface
connector.
