Making Connections

Connecting the FAX-L350 to Your PC
Your FAX-L350 has an 8-bit, bi-directional parallel interface port
that allows you to connect it to a PC. To do this, you need to purchase a
Centronics-compatible parallel interface cable from your dealer.
For best results, use a cable that is no longer than 6.6 feet (2 meters).
Canon recommends that you use a cable that complies with IEEE 1284.
Contact your local authorized Canon dealer if you need help in selecting
a cable.
Connect the FAX-L350 to your computer as follows:
1. Make sure the computer is turned off and the FAX-L350 is
unplugged.
2. Connect the parallel interface cable to your FAX-L350:
a. Align the cable connector with the interface port so their shapes
match.
b. Gently press the cable connector into the port.
c. Secure the cable connector by snapping both wire clips (on the
sides of the port) into the cable connector, as shown below.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface
port on your computer in the same manner.
