Using a parallel interface for Windows users
To connect the printer to your PC, you need a shielded, twisted-
pair parallel cable. Follow the directions below.
1. Make sure that both the printer and the 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 printer has a
ground connector
screw to the right of the interface connector, connect the
ground wire to the ground connector screw.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer's parallel
interface. If there is a ground wire at the computer end of the
cable, connect it to the ground connector at the back of the
computer.
