Connecting parallel cable

To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284
bi-directional parallel cable. (These
cables are clearly marked with
“IEEE-1284.”) Only IEEE-1284 cables
support all of the printer’s advanced
features.

Caution

Make sure the printer is turned off.

1 Connect the parallel cable to the

parallel port.

2 Snap the wire clips in place to

secure the cable to the printer.

The cable should install easily. If
installation is difficult, check the
cable orientation.

3 Connect the other end of the cable

to the proper connector on the
computer.

Note

See the online use guide for
information on ordering a two- or three-
meter IEEE-1284 parallel cable.
