Connecting the Printer to Your PC

To connect the printer to your computer using the built-in
parallel interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel
cable.
Connect the printer to the computer as follows:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer's interface
connector. Then squeeze the wire clips together until they
lock in place on both sides. If your cable has a ground wire,
connect it to the ground connector below the interface
connector.
