5. Attach the parallel printer(s) cable(s).
Attach the parallel cable to the female DB25 parallel port on the back of
the FastPort. Connect the other end of the cable to a standard,
centronics port on the printer.

a DTE device. If the cable works for an IBM PC attached to a printer,
then it will work for FastPort.
Note: See Appendix A for the parallel and serial port pinouts.
7. Set the printer to the defaults for the serial port: 9600 baud , 8 data
bits , no parity bits , 1 stop bit , and Xon/Xoff for flow control.
