Note : When plugging into power jack, make sure that you avoid the 36 pin parallel connector.

Connecting the Pr inter to Your Host

You can connect the printer with any standard Centronics cable to the parallel port of the host computer.

Alternatively you can connect the printer with a serial cable to the RS232C port of your computer or terminal. (for PC
compatibles, the RS232C port is COM1, COM2 or COM3.)

Note : Using Centronics allows for a much higher communication speed than the use of a serial.
