Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
Your printer has three separate interface connections: an IEEE-
1284 compatible parallel interface, an EIA-232D serial interface
and Type B optional interface. See page A-3 for more information.
If your computer requires a different type of printer interface, you
should be able to use one of the optional interfaces described on
page A-3.
Follow the steps below to connect the printer to your computer
using a parallel or serial interface connector, or a ground wire
connector.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off. The
printer is off when the surface of the Operate button is even
with the button protectors.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface
connector as shown.
