Connecting To The Computer; Parallel Interface For Pcs - Epson EPL-5800L Setup Gudie

Connecting to the Computer

Your printer comes with two standard interface connectors,
parallel and USB.

Parallel interface for PCs

Follow the steps below to connect the printer to your computer
through the parallel interface. You need a shielded, twisted-pair
parallel cable.
1. Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer's parallel
interface connector. Then squeeze the wire clips together until
they lock into place on both sides. If your cable has a ground
wire, connect it to the ground connector located below the
interface connector.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer's parallel
interface connector. If there is a ground wire at the computer
end of the cable, connect it to the ground connector at the back
of the computer.
