Connecting The Printer To Your Computer - Epson LQ-2090 User Manual

Note:
When printing, you can use the paper guide only when the tractor is installed in
the front or rear push position.

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

Your printer is equipped with both an IEEE-1284-compatible parallel
interface and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. It also includes a
Type-B optional interface slot in case your computer requires a different
type of printer interface. (See the Reference Guide if you need to install an
interface card.)
Note:
You can connect cables to both interfaces; the printer switches automatically to
the appropriate interface when it receives data.
To connect your computer to your printer's built-in parallel interface,
you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with a 36-pin Centronics
compatible connector for the printer. To connect the printer to a USB
port, you need a standard, shielded USB cable.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off, then
connect the parallel or USB cable to the printer.
2. Connect the other end to your computer.
