Parallel Cable Connection

The type of cable required varies depending on the computer you are using. Make sure to use the interface
cable compliant with your computer.
• The printer's parallel connection is a standard bidirectional interface that requires an IEEE 1284-
compliant half pitch 36-pin parallel cable and host computer parallel port.
• Use shielded interface cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic interference.
