Connecting to the Parallel Port

This printer does not come with a parallel interface cable. You can use a
standard Centronics interface cable (sold separately) for this purpose.
Your dealer can advise you on the cable you require.
Notice:
Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.
To make the connection, plug
the cable connector into the
parallel interface port on the
back of the printer. Secure the
connector with the wire clips.
Plug the other connector into
your computer's parallel port.
Consult your computer
documentation if you need
help.
