Connecting To The Computer - Epson ColorPage EPL-C8000 Setup Manual

Connecting to the Computer

To connect your computer to your printer's built-in parallel
interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with
IEEE-1284 compatible.
Note:
If you installed the optional interface card, you need a different type of
the cable. Check the optional interface card's documentation.
1. Make sure both the printer and the computer are off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer's interface
connector, and squeeze the wire clips together until they lock
in place on both sides of the connector.
Note:
If your cable has a ground wire, connect it to the printer's ground
connector as shown below.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer. (If the cable
has a ground wire at the computer end, attach it to the ground
connector at the back of the computer.)
After you connect the printer to your computer, install the printer
driver software as described in the next section.
