To connect the SuperScript 1450 printer locally with a parallel
connection, we recommend using an IEEE 1284-compliant
bidirectional parallel cable that is no more than 6 feet in
length. If you use a cable that is longer than 6 feet, it should
be certified as 1284 bidirectional. Make sure the printer and
computer are both turned off and disconnected from the
power.
1. Make sure the printer and the computer are turned off.
2. Plug the appropriate end of the parallel cable into the
connector on the back of the printer. Fasten the clips at
the end of the connector into the notches on the plug
(A) .
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate
parallel connector on your computer

4. Connect the Power Cord to the back of the printer. Plug
the other end of the Power Cord into a properly
grounded outlet

Do not turn on your computer until you have
successfully printed out a Settings Page. Follow the
directions on the next page (see page 23).
