Using The Parallel Interface - Epson Equity LT-386SX User Manual

Using the Parallel Interface

The computer's Centronics-compatible parallel interface
provides a 25-pin, D-shaped female connector. Most Epson
printers have parallel interfaces. To connect a printer to the
computer, you need an IBM PC-compatible printer cable. If
you're not sure which one you need, consult your Epson dealer.
Once you have a printer cable, follow these steps to connect
your printer to the parallel interface labeled PRINTER on the
computer:
1. Place the printer next to your computer.
2. Before you connect the printer, make sure the power
switches on the computer and printer are off. (The power
switch for your computer is located on the right side of the
machine).
3. Press down on the release tab to open the computer's
interface cover, as shown below.
4. One end of the printer cable has a 25-pin, D-shaped male
connector. (See your printer manual if you cannot identify
this connector.) Connect this end to the parallel connector
