Connecting The Printer To Your Pc; Using The Built-In Parallel Interface - Epson Stylus PRO 10000CF Startup Manual

Connecting the Printer to Your PC

The method you use to connect the printer to your PC depends
on how you want to send print jobs. If you want to send them
directly, use the printer's built-in parallel interface or the USB
interface. If you want to send them over a network, use an
optional interface card.
For information of using the USB interface, see "Using a USB
connection (For Windows Me, 98, and 2000)" on page 2-3. For
information on using optional interface cards, see Chapter 6,
"Using an Optional Interface Card."
To connect the printer to a Macintosh, see Chapter 3, "Setting up
the Printer with Your Macintosh."

Using the built-in parallel interface

To use the printer's built-in parallel interface, you will need a
shielded, twisted-pair cable. Then follow the steps below to
connect the printer to your computer.
Note:
Before you connect the parallel interface cable, disconnect the USB cable
from the printer, if installed.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer's interface.
Then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock into place
on both sides. If your cable has a ground wire, connect it to
the ground connector below the interface connector.
