Page 19 highlights

Attaching a Parallel Printer Cable To ensure reliability use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable (these cables are clearly marked with "IEEE-1284"). Only IEEE-1284 cables support all of the printer's advanced functions. Caution Make sure power is off. 1 Locate the interface cable door (A) at the back of the printer. Pull the door out using the finger tab for leverage. 2 If using a parallel cable with a large B-type end, connect the cable into port (B). Snap the wire clips in place to secure the cable to the printer. If using a parallel cable with a small C-type end, connect the cable into port (C). The cables should install easily. If installation is difficult, check the cable orientation. 3 Replace the interface cable door while allowing the cable to feed through its appropriate hole. 4 Connect the other end of the cable to the proper connector on the computer. Go to Step 7. Attach the Power Cord, on page 1-12. 1-10 Printer Setup EN

Attaching a Parallel Printer Cable
To ensure reliability use an IEEE-1284
compliant parallel cable (these cables are
clearly marked with “IEEE-1284”). Only
IEEE-1284 cables support all of the
printer’s advanced functions.
Caution
Make sure power is off.
1
Locate the interface cable door (
A
) at
the back of the printer. Pull the door
out using the finger tab for leverage.
2
If using a parallel cable with a large
B-type end, connect the cable into
port (
B
). Snap the wire clips in place
to secure the cable to the printer.
If using a parallel cable with a small
C-type end, connect the cable into
port (
C
).
The cables should install easily. If
installation is difficult, check the
cable orientation.
3
Replace the interface cable door
while allowing the cable to feed
through its appropriate hole.
4
Connect the other end of the cable to
the proper connector on the computer.
