Printer Ports Overview

Your printer has standard parallel, 10/100BaseT Ethernet (EtherTalk, LPR, TCP/IP,
and IPP), and USB ports (fig. 1.30). These simultaneously active interfaces can receive
jobs from different operating environments without hardware switching.

Selecting the Printer Interface

Connect to the printer appropriate interface for your host computer or network
environment.
With a parallel connection, the PC to printer distance for a PC without Ethernet
should be less than 10 ft. (3 m). With an Ethernet connection, you need a UTP
connection.

Required Equipment: Parallel

Use a bi-directional or IEEE 1284 parallel printer cable to connect your PC and
printer (fig. 1.31) via the parallel port. The cable's printer end has a 36-pin male
connector; the computer end has a 25-pin male connector.
