Your printer has both a parallel and a serial port: you can only use one at a time. When you take the
printer out of the box, there will be a metal plate over the serial port.
Using the Parallel Port
Plug in your parallel cable and fasten the printer's clips to it.
Using the Serial Port
To use the serial interface, loosen the metal plate with a Phillips screwdriver and slide it to the right
to cover the parallel port. Plug your cable into the serial port and fasten it in place by screwing it
in. Then tighten the screws on the plate.
If you use the serial port, you may need to enter the Menu Select mode and adjust the menu
settings (see Chapter 5)( ).
