Connecting a Printer or Plotter, or Network
1. Connect the printer or plotter cable to the back of the PC, and tighten the attachment
screws. If the printer or plotter has an ECP/EPP interface, make sure you use a
compatible cable, IEEE 1284-B standard connector or IEEE 1284-C small connector.
Use the:
25-pin ECP/EPP bidirectional parallel connector for a parallel device
9-pin serial connector for a serial device.
2. Connect the network cable either to the RJ-45 UTP LAN connector, and check that the
LAN LED is on, or to the BNC coaxial LAN connector. When the RJ-45 UTP connection
is made, the BNC coaxial connector is disabled. Let your Network Administrator know
you are connecting your PC to the network.
