CONNECTING THE CABLES
CONNECTING THE INTERFACE CABLE
Connect the device to the computer with the appropriate interface cable.
Two types of interface cables are available with the device. Select the interface cable appropriate to
the computer and output software used.
• Turn off the power switch of the device (the switch has to be tilted toward the
“O” side) in prior to the connection of the interface cable and the power cable.
• When connecting the cables, first turn off the power to the device, then
connect the interface cable and the power cable. Be sure to connect the
interface cable first, then the power cable. Othewise mal-fanction will result.
When Windows 2000 is used (IEEE 1394)
When the computer is operated with Windows 2000, use an IEEE 1394 interface cable to connect the
computer and the device together.
It is possible to use an IEEE 1284 interface cable for connection between the computer and the
device. In this case, however, the data transmission speed decreases.
• The application used must be applicable to
IEEE 1394.
•
Either of the two IEEE 1394 connectors can be
used.
Configuration of connector (IEEE1394)
When software other than Windows 2000 is used (IEEE 1284)
When the software used is other than Windows 2000, use an IEEE 1284 interface cable to connect
the computer and the device together.
Configuration of connector (IEEE1284)
•
If the customer uses Windows 2000 and the computer is not provided with
an IEEE 1394 board, contact your nearest RIP provider or MIMAKI sales office.
