Step 11. Connect a printer (Optional)

Step 11. Connect a printer (Optional)
Perform this step if you plan to connect a printer directly to the serial, parallel,
or USB ports that are located on the 86100C rear panel. If you have a parallel
(Centronics) printer, you will need a parallel printer cable, such as an C2950A
(2 m) or C2951A (3 m) cable. If you have a serial printer, you will need a 9-pin
to 25-pin serial printer cable, such as an 34398A cable, plus the 34399A
adapter kit. Some printers may require other cable configurations, but the
86100C has a 9-pin serial connector.
• Attach the required parallel or serial printer cable between your printer and the
86100C's rear-panel connector.
