Care Center directly at 952.988.2316. Make sure you have the serial number, located
on the inside of the printer, when you call.
Connecting cables
The printer requires a data cable and a power cable. The printer also uses one or
more smart card cable(s) if a smart card module is installed. This section explains how
to connect the printer cables.
If the printer is connected over a network using a print server, see e-Guide for
Select™ Platinum™ Series Printers for information about connecting and using
the printer.
The printer panel has several ports, and some printers (with smart card modules)
have ports installed in optional locations.
Figure 7-3 shows the printer ports.

The data cable can be a USB cable or a parallel port cable. Use only one data
cable to connect the printer and PC.
Connect a parallel port data cable
When using a parallel port data cable, make sure that no USB cables are
connected between the printer and PC until after the driver is installed.
1 Attach the parallel port cable to the ECP parallel port on the printer.
The parallel port cable must be a shielded, Type C, IEEE 1284 parallel port cable,
up to a maximum of 6.5 feet or 2 meters long. A longer cable might result in
electrical interference.
