If you have a new PC and it has not been set up yet, before connect-
ing the printer to the PC, you should follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for setting up the PC and installing (if necessary) any operating
system software, such as DOS and/or Windows.

Interface cables are not included with your printer. If you’re replacing
a printer, you may already have the necessary cables. If not, you’ll
need to purchase the cables from your QMS vendor or a local com-
puter store.
To connect your printer to a single PC, you need a parallel cable with
a 36-pin male and a 25-pin male connector.
» Note: See the “Cable Pinouts” section of appendix B, in the
Reference guide, for cable pinout information.

Your printer supports both Centronics parallel, and IEEE 1284 bidirec-
tional parallel communication. The type of parallel cable you use
depends on the type of parallel communication your computer sup-
ports (check your computer user’s guide if you’re unsure).
„
If your computer supports IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel com-
munication, you need an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable
(IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). This cable must be 6.5
feet/2 meters or less in length.
