Parallel Interface Requirements

The required cable (IEEE 1284-compliant is recommended)
must have a standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end,
which is plugged into the parallel port located on the back of the
printer. The other end of the parallel interface cable connects to
the printer connector at the host computer. For pin-out

Interface Specification.

Serial and Parallel Cabling Requirements

Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with
metal or metalized connector shells. Shielded cables and
connectors are required to prevent radiation and reception of
electrical noise.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
1. Keep data cables as short as possible.
(6 ft or 1.83m recommended)
2. Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
