3. Installation
NOTE
Make sure the computer and any other connected devices
are turned off before you make any connections to the
Converter.
The Converter plugs directly into a computer’s DB25
male (DTE) serial port, or into a computer’s DB25
female parallel-printer port. If your serial port is a DB9
male port, use an ordinary DB9-female-to-DB25 male
adapter. If you’re outputting to a parallel printer, use a
standard PC-to-parallel-printer cable and the included
DB25 female-to-female gender changer.
