If you install one or more cards, you also may need to set jumper JP6 to tell the computer the type of monitor you are using: monochrome or color. If you have two types of cards, set the jumper to indicate which one is your primary monitor type. See Chapter 6 for instructions on changing jumper settings. Once you have installed your video card, return to this section to connect your monitor to the computer. Follow the steps in "Using the VGA Interface" on page 1-4, but insert your monitor connector into the video card port instead of the built-in VGA port. 4 Connecting a Printer or Other Device Your computer has both parallel and serial interfaces. To connect a printer or other peripheral device to one of these interfaces, follow the instructions below. Epson offers a full range of printers; ask your dealer for more information. Using the Parallel Interface The parallel interface on your computer is Centronics® compatible and uses a DB-25S connector. To connect your printer and computer, you need an IBM compatible printer cable. If you are not sure which one you need, check with your Epson dealer. Once you have the correct printer cable, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the printer and your computer are turned off. 2. Place the printer next to the computer with the back panels of both components facing you. Setting Up Your System 1-7
