Parallel printer

You can connect any standard Centronics-compatible parallel printer to your
computer. All you need is an IBM PC™ parallel printer cable. Your dealer can
supply one or you can purchase one at most computer stores.
The cable's connectors are designed so that it is impossible for you to connect them
incorrectly. You can also connect a parallel printer to an optional Advanced Port
Replicator. To connect a printer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Insert one end of the cable into the computer's parallel port.
3. Tighten the screws that fasten the cable connector to the computer's parallel
port.
4. Insert the other end of the cable into the printer's parallel connector.
5. Fasten the connector to the printer with the clips on the parallel port.
6. Turn on the printer.
7. Turn on the computer.
8. Start the Hardware Setup program. Refer to Chapter 7 HW Setup and Pass-
words.

window.
