™ Interface cable
• An interface cable is not a standard accessory.
• Some computers have both a USB and a parallel port. Please purchase the
appropriate cable for the interface you intend to use.
• Today most parallel cables support bi-directional communication, but some might
have an incompatible pin assignment or may not be IEEE 1284-compliant.
• Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 metres (10 feet).
(For HL-1440, HL-1450 and HL-1470N Users)
• When you use a USB cable, be sure to use a high-speed twisted cable (12 Mbps)
and connect it to the USB connector of your PC.
• Do not use the USB connector on the front of your PC or on the iMac keyboard.
