Connecting the Printer to the Computer
The Card Printer is designed to be used with nearly any IBM-PC or compatible running
Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. For best performance, a Pentium™ class
computer with 16 MB RAM or higher is recommended.
The Printer is equipped with an ECP-compatible, high-speed Centronics parallel port. (Note:
This port is the means through which the Printer receives data from the computer.)
Connect the Printer to the computer with a shielded, bi-directional parallel cable and refer to
the following steps:
Step Procedure
1 Connect the Centronics-type parallel side to the Printer. Snap the fastening clips
into place.
2 Connect the other side to the back of the PC at the PARALLEL connector. The
Printer must have its on-line light illuminated to receive data. If the light is not
ON, press the on-line button.
