Connecting The Printer Locally - NEC SuperScript 1800 User Manual

C
ONNECTING THE
To connect the SuperScript 1800 printer locally we
recommend using an IEEE 1284-compliant bidirectional
parallel cable that is no more than 6 feet in length. If you use
a cable that is longer than 6 feet, it should be certified as 1284
bidirectional. Make sure the printer and computer are both
turned off and disconnected from the power.
1. Plug the appropriate end of the parallel cable into the
connector on the back of the printer. Fasten the clips at
the end of the connector into the notches on the plug (A).
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate
parallel connector on your computer (B).

3. Connect the Power Cord to the rear of the printer. Plug
the other end of the Power Cord into a properly
grounded outlet (C).
note:
If you are running Windows 95 or 98 on your
computer, make sure both the computer and the printer
are turned off before you install the printer software. See
Chapter 3, "Installing the Software," for printer driver
installation instructions.
