Chapter 2 Setting Up the Printer 15

Setting Up the

Printer

Connecting Your Printer to the Computer

Your printer has an 8-bit parallel interface port, which allows you to use it

with IBM PCs and compatible computers. You need to purchase a

Centronics-compatible, parallel interface cable from your dealer. Ask your

dealer for assistance if you need help selecting the right cable.

For reliable data communications between your computer and the printer,

use a short cable, six feet or less in length.

To connect the printer to the host computer, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure both the printer and the computer are turned off.

2. Connect the parallel cable.

❏ Align the cable connector with the printer’s interface port so the

shapes match.

❏ Gently press the cable connector into the port.

❏ Secure the cable connector by snapping the two wire clips (located

on the printer) into the cable connector.

3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the parallel interface

port on your computer.
