Connecting the Cables

CAUTION:
For a serial interface, use a null modem cable.
For a parallel interface, use an IEEE 1284 cable.
For a USB interface, do not turn on the printer before installing the printer driver.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Connect the AC cable and each interface cable to the connectors on the printer
back. For the shape of each connector, see illustration B on page ii. (Mounted
interfaces vary by the printer model.)
3. Connect the interface cable to the computer.
4. Insert the AC cable plug into a power outlet.

Attaching the Connector Cover

Follow the steps below to attach the connector cover to protect the cables.
1. Turn over the printer.
2. Position the two hooks on both sides of the connector cover so that they hook
the printer case, as shown in illustration C on page ii.
3. Push the connector cover down to click onto the printer case.
To remove the connector cover, turn the printer over, and push the connector
cover down while pushing both sides of the connector cover inward to detach the
hooks from the printer case. See illustration D on page ii.

Arranging the Cables

Pass the cables through cable exits in the connector cover. The connector cover has
cable exits on the back and both sides.
You can also route the serial, USB, or power cables out the front by passing them
through the notch in the printer bottom. See illustration E on page iii.
If you want to pass the USB cable through the cable exit on the back, fit the cable
under the hook on the printer to prevent the cable from coming off. See
illustration F.
After the cable arrangement, turn over the printer, and make sure the cables are
not pinched. See illustration G.
