For an IBM-compatible personal computer:
✓
Use a standard 36-pin Centronics parallel cable.
✓
The parallel cable should be no longer than six 
feet (two meters). Longer cables can result in 
poor transfer of information.
❏
Plug one end of the parallel cable into the parallel 
port of your computer. The parallel port should 
be labeled “Printer,” “Parallel,” “PRN,” “LPT1,” 
or something similar.
❏
Plug the other end of the parallel cable into the 
socket on the side of the printer and secure it in 
place with the clips.
Important!
Make sure that the printer and the computer are 
turned off before connecting them.
Note:
Consult your dealer for details on how to set up your 
computer when using the optional SPC-8K serial-to-
parallel interface converter or the IS-8H192 (or IS-
32H768) serial interface unit.
