Parallel Device - NEC VERSA TXI Manual

Parallel Device

You can attach a parallel printer to the printer port on the left side of your NEC Versa
TXi system. To install a parallel printer you need the transfer cable that ships with your
system and the parallel cable that comes with the printer. The transfer cable has a 36-
pin connector at one end, and a 25-pin printer port at the other. Your device's parallel
cable has a 25-pin parallel connector at one end, and a connector appropriate for your
device at the other (for most parallel printers, a Centronics
connector).
