Interface Connection 

The printer can be connected to the host via a USB, serial or parallel cable. 
The Printer will automatically connect to the first port (USB, serial or parallel) 
that transmits valid data. After this connection has been made, the printer’s 
power must be cycled Off and On to change the interface connection. 

 
USB Connection: 

The USB Interface is supported in Windows 95 and 

greater. Depending upon the operating system of your host computer, 
installation may differ slightly.

 

 

 

 

Parallel Connection: 

The parallel interface requires a standard parallel 

cable with a 36 pin male connector.
