CAUTION:

Always use a shielded interface cable. Use of an unshielded cable can
result in radio interference with data.

NOTE:

Printing through a serial port (LocalTalk) is not supported on Macintosh
computers.

Using a parallel interface cable

If you do not have a parallel interface cable, you will need to purchase one
from your local computer store or dealer (

see “Bidirectional parallel

interface” on page 296

).

1

Make sure the computer, printer and the other
connected peripheral devices are turned off.

2

Connect the Centronics Type C parallel interface cable
to the computer’s parallel connector and the printer’s
parallel interface connector.

NOTES:

The actual connector on the computer may differ depending on
the manufacturer of the computer.

If the cable is connected to the PC via a printer buffer or switch,
the printer may not print.

Connect the power cord to the printer’s AC inlet and to
an AC outlet.
