Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
For the printer to receive information from your computer, they
must be set up so they can communicate properly. This requires
the correct interface cable and communication settings. Your
printer comes with the following built-in interfaces:
l
Centronics-compatible parallel
l
RS-232C/RS-422 serial
The interfaces are located as shown below.
Parallel interface
Serial interface
Several optional interface cards are also available for use with the
printer. See Chapter 7 for details on using these options.
Choosing an interface
To connect the printer to your computer, first determine whether
you require a parallel or serial connection. If your computer
provides both types of connection, use the parallel interface for the
printer and leave the serial port on your computer free for devices
such as modems. If you are in doubt about which type of
connection to use, consult your dealer.
