Setting Up Your New HP OfficeJet Pro
Step 6 — Connect the Cable and Power Cord
NOTE
Use the cable that was shipped with your product. It is a special IEEE-1284
parallel cable that is necessary for the proper functioning of your
HP OfficeJet Pro. If you choose to buy a longer cable, make sure it is an
IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable.
1
Connect the printer cable to HP OfficeJet Pro, snapping both clips
into the notches. (The connector is located on the left side toward
the back of the product.)
2
Plug the other end of the cable into your computer’s parallel port,
and tighten the screws.
CAUTION
Do not connect your HP OfficeJet Pro to a switch box or the pass-through
port of another parallel product, such as a scanner, tape drive, Zip™ drive,
or CD-ROM drive. Doing so can cause erratic behavior of both products
and the possible loss of information.
