INTERFACES
Your printer is equipped with a selection of data interfaces:
1.
Parallel
– For direct connection to a PC. This port requires a
bi-directional (IEEE 1384 compliant) parallel cable.
2.
USB
– For connection to a PC running Windows 98 or above
(not Windows 95 upgraded to Windows 98) or Macintosh. This

The operation of a printer is not assured if a USB compatible
device is connected concurrently with other USB-compatible
machines.
When connecting multiple printers of the same type, they
appear as *****, ***** (2), ***** (3), etc. These numbers
depend on the order of connecting or turning on each printer.
3.

printing (available as an option).
