IEEE 1284 compliant parallel cable is used for this connection, unless you are using the

optional serial interface board.

Make sure that the printer power switch is

off before connecting or disconnecting the

interface cable.

Also, make sure that the computer is turned

off.

Connect the parallel interface cable to the

parallel interface port of the printer. ( ① )

Secure the connection with the wire clips.

( ② )

Connect the interface cable to the printer

port of the computer.

NOTE

The printer can also operate with an RS-232C/RS-422A serial interface by installing the

optional serial interface board. In some countries it might be pre-installed. For more

information, see “CHAPTER 4 OPTIONS” in the User’s Guide.

For the location of your computer’s parallel (or serial, if you are using the optional interface

board) printer port, refer to the User’s Guide of your computer.
