Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Printer 1–13
Connecting the I/O
After connecting each interface to your printer, run a print job from the Host
Computer to verify proper function of the printer.
Serial/Parallel Interfaces
To connect the Serial or Parallel I/O cable, plug in the cable to the proper
connector on the I/O panel.
The serial interface operates up to 38.4 kBaud and uses a standard DB 25 serial
cable connector and standard RS-232-C signals. Serial interface cables should
be no longer than 50 feet (15.2 meters).
The Centronics parallel port is IEEE-1284 compliant and uses a 36-pin 1284-B
type connector (AMP 555119-1 or equivalent). Parallel interface cables should
be no longer than 6 feet (2 meters)

Interface Connectors
Properly secure the cable to the printer interface using the correct connectors.
Shielded I/O cables must be used on all installations to
comply with regulatory requirements.
