If your computer supports only Centronics parallel unidirectional
communication, you may use either a Centronics parallel cable
(unmarked on cable) or an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable
(IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). However, we recommend
an IEEE 1284 cable. The IEEE 1284 cable must be 6.5 feet/2
meters or less in length while the Centronics cable may be longer.
Serial cable—If the printer is more than 6.5 feet/2 meters from the
computer, we recommend using a serial cable for better communica-
tion. For best results, the printer and computer should be less than 25
feet/7.6 meters from each other.
