Connecting the Printer to Your PC
To connect the printer to your computer using its built-in parallel
interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable.
Note:
If you plan to connect with a USB cable, follow the instructions in the
USB User’s Guide that came with your printer.
Follow these steps to connect your printer.
1. Make sure both the printer and 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 cable has a ground wire, connect
it to the ground connector below the interface connector.
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.
Now see the next section for instructions on installing the printer
software in your computer. You must install this software before
using your printer.
