Connecting To The Parallel Port; Connecting To The Serial Port (12Mx Only) - Fujitsu PRINTPARTNER User Manual

User's Manual
Whichever interface you use, the printer automatically detects the
interface that the computer is using.
For these options refer to Chapter 3.

Connecting to the Parallel Port

This printer does not come with a parallel interface cable. You can
use a Centronics cable with IEEE 1284 type B connector (sold
separately) at the printer side for this purpose. Your dealer can advise
you on the cable you require.
Caution:
Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.
Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic
damage to the printer.

Connecting to the Serial Port (12MX only)

Connecting to the serial port involves the following tasks:
• Connect the interface cable to the printer and your computer.
• Print out the status report to check the serial parameter settings.
Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
To make the connection,
plug the cable connector
into the parallel interface
port on the back of the
printer. Secure the
connector with the wire
clips. Plug the other
connector into your
computer's parallel port.
Consult your computer
