Connecting Your Printer to the Computer
Your printer has an 8-bit parallel interface port, which allows you to use it with IBM PCs and compatible
computers. To use the Microsoft Windows Printing System, you need to purchase a Centronics
compatible parallel cable with bi-directional capability from your dealer. Ask your dealer for assistance if
you need help selecting the right cable.
For reliable data communications between your computer and the printer, use a short cable,
six feet or less in length. The cable must be bi-directional.
1. Make sure both the printer and the computer are turned off.
2. Connect the parallel cable by aligning the cable connector with the printer's interface port so the
shapes match.
Gently press the cable connector into the port.
Secure the cable connector by snapping the two wire clips (located on the printer) into
the cable connector
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the parallel interface port on your computer.
