Connecting the Printer

Parallel interface for PCs

To connect the printer to your PC, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel
cable.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer's interface connector.
Then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on both
sides. If your cable has a ground wire, connect it to the ground connector
below the interface connector.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer's parallel interface. 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.

Using a USB connection

To connect the printer to a USB port, you need a standard shielded USB
cable. Follow these steps.
1. Plug the appropriate end of the cable into the USB port on the back of
the printer. (The end that fits the printer has a different shape from the
end that fits the computer.)
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer's USB port.
