CONNECTING
TO A COMPUTER
The Star LaserPrinter 8111 comes equipped with both a parallel and a serial
connector to receive data from a computer. Selection of either a parallel or
a serial connection is accomplished from the control panel (see the chapter
on Initial Operation).
Both a parallel and a serial cable can be attached to the printer at the same
time, but only one can be active. Before attaching any cable, be sure the
power supply is off on both the printer and any computer to which the cable
is attached.
Parallel
When you face the front of the printer, the parallel connector is on the rear
left. This is a standard 36 pin Centronics connection. To attach a cable to
the parallel connector, match the wedge shape of the cable end to the shape
of the connector, and insert the cable firmly. Secure it with the lock clips.
