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