Connecting a Printer
Connect the one end of the printer cable to line up with the parallel connector and then plug it to
the computer. If the plug has retaining screws, tighten them.
Connect the other end of the cable to the printer. To secure the cable, squeeze the clips at each side
of the printer port and push them into place.
Attach the printer's power cord to the printer and plug it into an appropriate grounded electrical
outlet.
Connecting a Serial Device
If you have a printer, a modem, or other peripheral device with a serial interface, you can connect
them to the serial port on the back panel of the computer.
