Connecting the Serial Cable
1
Turn the printer Off.
2
Turn off the power on your computer.
3
Connect the serial cable and adapter. The cable and adapter
are not supplied with your printer. We recommend either one
of Lexmark’s null modem RS 232 (DB 25 Female to DB 25
Male) serial cables, part numbers 1180786 (20 ft.) or 1038693
(50 ft.) along with the Serial Interface Adapter, part number
1319143 (DB 25 Female to Centronics 36 pin Male).
If you do not wish to use our recommended DB 25 to DB 25
null modem cables, or if you already have a similar RS 232
null modem cable, you may only need to attach Lexmark’s DB
25 to Centronics 36 Serial Adapter (part number 1319143) to
your existing cable.
Note:
You do not need to attach a grounding wire to the
computer.
