Connecting the Printer to a PC Parallel Port

If you are using a parallel port to communicate with your printer, you need:
• a Centronics parallel interface adapter installed in the printer.
• a parallel cable to run between the printer and the PC.
If you did not have the parallel interface installed at the factory, you can
install the field installable option (Intermec Part No. 056830) in the optional
I/O board port of your printer. You can purchase a parallel cable from
Intermec (Part No. 051211) or from your local computer store. See
"Centronics Parallel Interface" in Appendix A for pin descriptions of the
parallel cable connector.
