Connecting the Printer to Your Computer Your printer is initially set up for parallel communication. If you are using a parallel interface, you should be able to connect your computer to the printer with a properly shielded twisted-pair cable and not change any factory settings. If you decide to use a serial interface, you may need to use SelecType to change some of the printer's serial settings, such as baud rate or parity, to match the computer's settings. See Chapter 3 for details on using SelecType to set up the printer's serial interface settings. If you plan to use an optional interface, see Chapter 7 for details. Connecting the parallel interface If you want to use the printer's standard parallel interface, make sure you have a shielded twisted-pair cable suitable for a Centronics-compatible interface. Follow these steps to connect the parallel interface: 1. Turn off both your printer and computer. Then unplug the printer's power cord from the electrical outlet.
