Connect the other end of the cable to the printer as shown in
the following illustration. To secure the cable, squeeze the clips
at each side of the printer connector and push them into place.
Plug the printer’s power cable into an electrical outlet.
Before starting your computer, be sure to set DIP switch 1 on
the back panel to the off position, as described on page 1-8 in
“Setting the DIP Switches.” This tells your computer that a
printer is connected to the parallel interface.
Note
If
you plan to use an
external
5 1/4-inch diskette drive with your
Equity LT-286, you must connect the external drive to the
parallel interface, Therefore, you cannot have both a parallel
printer and the diskette drive connected at the same time. If
you’re using an external 5 1/4-inch diskette drive, you need to
set DIP switch 1 on the back panel to the on position. See
“Setting the DIP Switches,” on page 1-8,
