Connecting a Printer
Before connecting a printer, you need to know whether it requires
a USB or a parallel interface. Check the printer’s documentation.
If the printer can be switched between USB and parallel mode
choose parallel if you want to leave your USB ports free for
other use.
You also need a suitable printer cable which may come with
your printer. If not, you can purchase one from a computer or
electronics store.
CAUTION: Connecting the printer cable while the
computer is on may damage the printer, the com-
puter, or both.
NOTE: If your printer is ECP-or IEEE- compliant,
make sure your printer cable is an IKE 1284 cable.
The following instructions assume you have a printer that uses a
parallel port connection, which is the most common type of printer
interface.
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Connect the printer cable to the printer and to the computer’s
parallel port.
3. Plug the printer’s power cable into an AC outlet.
4 Refer to your printer documentation for additional configuration
steps.
