THE INTERFACE CABLE
The host computer transmits information
to the printer along an interface

No interface cable is supplied as standard with the printer. Determine the
kind of interface cable (serial or parallel) you want to use, and purchase the
appropriate cable from your supplier.
1. Before connecting
the interface cable, make sure that the power to the
printer and the computer is turned off.
2. Plug one end of the interface cable into the appropriate connector on the
rear side of the printer.
3. For parallel (Centronics)
interface,
secure the cable connector
using
connector
clips. For serial interface, fasten the cable connector
using
screws.
