You can connect cables to both interfaces; the printer switches automatically to the appropriate
interface when it receives data.

be, or it will damage the printer.

interface.

printer’s parallel interface. Squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on either
side of the connector.
2. Guide the interface cable through the slot on the side of the printer.
