Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

Your printer is equipped with both an IEEE-1284-compatible parallel

interface and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. It also includes a

Type-B optional interface slot in case your computer requires a different

type of printer interface. (See the Reference Guide if you need to install an

interface card.)

Note:

You can connect cables to both interfaces; the printer switches automatically to

the appropriate interface when it receives data.

To connect your computer to your printer's built-in parallel interface,

you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable with a 36-pin Centronics

compatible connector for the printer. To connect the printer to a USB

port, you need a standard, shielded USB cable.

Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off, then

connect the parallel or USB cable to the printer.

Connect the other end to your computer.

Caution:

There are several models of the printer designed for different voltages, and

it is not possible to adjust the printer for use with another voltage. If the

label on the back of the printer does not show the correct voltage for your

country, contact your dealer.
