Connecting To The Pc - Oki OKIPAGE 8c Setup Manual

Connecting to the PC

The printer comes with a standard high speed bidirectional
IBM Centronics compatible parallel data interface as standard.
This requires a IEEE1284 compliant parallel printer cable, not
more than 1.8m in length. Such a cable has a 36-pin Centronics
style plug at one end (the printer end) and a standard DB25
plug at the other (the PC end).
Two magnetic line filters (1) supplied with the equipment must
be attached to the parallel data cable before connecting the
printer to your host PC.
To attach the filters, position each filter as close as possible to
each end of the cable and snap the filter container shut.
The parallel data cable should be connected to the printer's
data interface (2) and to the host PCs parallel data port (usually
designated as LPT1).
Optionally you may have a network interface card installed.
This connects directly to your network cable, following the
instructions supplied with the card.
