To connect a printer or other parallel device

The OmniBook's 25-pin parallel port is a standard enhanced parallel port

other computers. You can use standard parallel cables and adapters available at
computer dealers and electronic supply stores.
1. Attach the parallel cable from the parallel device to the connector at the back
of the OmniBook.
2. If necessary, install the driver for your printer or other device. See your
Windows (or other operating system) manual for instructions.
If a parallel device is not working correctly, its bus speed might be too slow for the
OmniBook. You can decrease the OmniBook's bus speed by pressing
restore the original bus speed, press
