Local printing

Note:
All Windows operating
systems support parallel
connections. However, only the
Windows 98, Windows Me, and
Windows 2000 operating
systems support USB
connections. Some other
operating systems also support
USB connections. Refer to your
computer documentation to see
if your system supports USB.
Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to ensure
that you can access all of your printer functions.

Attach cables
You can attach your printer locally using either the USB port or
parallel port.
•
A USB port is standard on all printer models.
• A parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable.
If you install an optional USB/Parallel Interface Card to a network
model, network internet model, or network duplex model, you need a
1284 A-C parallel cable or a USB cable.
If you have installed an optional Tri-Port Adapter, you can locally
attach the printer with a serial cable. For details on LocalTalk or
infrared connections, refer to the documentation that shipped with the
Tri-Port Adapter.
Check your point of purchase for appropriate cable part numbers.
To attach the printer to a computer:
1
Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached
devices are turned off and unplugged.
2
Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel or USB
cable.
Be sure to match the USB symbol on the
cable to the USB symbol on the printer.
