Connecting The Printer To Your Pc - Epson Stylus Color Stylus Color II Software Setup Manual

Connecting the Printer to Your PC

You need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable (6 to 10 feet
long) to connect your computer to the printer's built-in parallel
interface. The cable must have a D-SUB, 25-pin male connector
for your computer and a 36-pin, Centronics compatible
connector for the printer.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the 36-pin end of the cable securely into the printer's
interface connector. Then squeeze the wire clips together
until they lock in place on both sides.
If your cable has a ground wire, attach it to the ground
connector below the interface connector.
3. Plug the 25-pin end of the cable into the computer's parallel
interface; see the instructions in your computer manual.
4. Turn on the printer by pressing the POWER switch and then
turn on your computer.
Now see Chapter 2 for instructions on installing and using the
printer driver.
