Connecting Parallel Devices; Connecting Serial Devices - Medion MD 8818 Instruction Manual

Connecting parallel devices

Diagram reference: H
Note
Take care that the connector and the socket fit exactly
to avoid damaging the contacts. Because of its
asymmetric form the plug only fits into the socket in
one position.
Use a doubly screened, parallel connection cable (25-pin) to
connect a printer:
1. Connect the printer cable from your printer to the red
printer socket H on the rear of your PC.
2. Hand-tighten the screws of the printer cable.
If you wish to use a scanner, which also connects to the PC via
the parallel interface, you must attach the corresponding scanner
cable here. If desired, the printer can then be attached to the
scanner.

Connecting serial devices

Diagram reference: I
You can connect an external modem or another serial device
using this port.
Note
Take care that the connector and the socket fit exactly
to avoid damaging the contacts. Because of its
asymmetric form the plug only fits into the socket in
one position.
1. In order to connect an external modem, card reader or other
serial device, connect the serial cable with the turquoise-
coloured connection socket (I) on the rear of your PC.
2. Hand-tighten the screws of the serial cable.
