Connecting a Parallel Printer

You can use the

PRINTER

port to connect a parallel device, such as

a Centronics

®

-compatible printer. Before connecting a printer,

check the manual that came with it to see if you need to change

any of its settings.

You can also connect some third-party external diskette drives to

this port. Check with the Epson Connection for product
compatibility requirements. If you do connect an external diskette

drive to this port, be sure to run the Setup program to identify the
drive.

Follow these steps to connect a parallel device:

1. Place the printer or other device in a convenient location near

your computer, so that the power and data cables will not

interfere with the paper or paper trays.

2. Make sure both the computer and printer are turned off.

3. Connect the printer cable to the

PRINTER

port.
