Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Printer
Connecting Your
Printer to a
Computer
To print from your computer, you need to connect your
printer to your computer with either a parallel interface
cable or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.
Using a
Parallel Cable
Your printer uses an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable
that supports bidirectional communication. We recom-
mend Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or
1427498 (20 ft). If you use a cable other than an IEEE-com-
pliant cable, you may not be able to access all of your
printer functions.
1
Turn the printer power Off (O) and unplug the
printer power cord from the electrical outlet.
Caution!
To avoid electrical
shock hazards, make sure your
computer power is Off (O) and
unplug all computer equipment
before connecting cables.
2
Align and plug the parallel cable into the parallel
connector as shown.
