Connecting the Printer

Use the PARALLEL OUT PRINTER port to connect the 5250 ALLY to

the printer. A parallel output cable is included with the 5250 ALLY. The

cable supplied by AGILE may be used, or if a standard Centronics parallel

cable is already connected to the printer, it may be used instead.
The PARALLEL OUT PRINTER port on the 5250 ALLY is IBM PC, XT,

AT, and PS/2 compatible. Any cable used to connect one of these

computers to the printer may be used to connect the 5250 ALLY to the

printer.

1. Insert the Centronics 36-pin device end of the AGILE printer cable

into the parallel connector on the rear of the printer.

2. If the printer’s Centronics connector includes latches, secure them.
