Connecting The Printer To Your Computer - Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

If the self test printed correctly, you are now ready to connect
the printer to your computer.
Your printer has two separate interface connections: a
Centronics®-compatible parallel interface and an RS-232C-
compatible serial interface. If you are not sure which one is
required by your computer, check your computer manual.
Note:
Your printer has an automatic interface selection feature that allows
you to connect more than one interface to the printer at a time. See the
section on using automatic interface selection in Chapter 3.
If you have a suitable shielded cable, you should be able to
connect the printer immediately. If you have one of the few
computers that requires a different type of interface, you
should be able to use one of the optional interfaces described in
Chapter 4.
