Caution:
•
When connecting the printer to your computer, make sure that both
your printer and your computer are switched OFF.

The printer can use the Centronics interface (IEEE1284 compatible, Nibble, ECP).
Connect to the printer as shown in the following diagram with an interface cable (option)
for the connection system you will use. Connect to the host computer with another
interface cable.

The use of an unnecessary long cable may influence your data
transmission. Therefore, keep your interface cable as short as
possible.

optional extra.
