To connect the printer to the host's serial (RS-232C) interface use an

for ordering information).
Part # 32-2300-01
To connect the printer to the host's parallel interface use a
Centronics parallel cable.
To connect the printer to the host's USB interface use a standard
USB cable.
Note that the printer has a unique feature: When connected via more than
one interface, it will automatically connect to the first port (serial,
parallel, or USB) that transmits valid data. After this connection has been
made, the printer's power must be cycled 'Off' and 'On' to change the
interface connection.
