Parallel Port Printing
Parallel port printing is an optional feature available for the WorkCentre 7655/7665/7675. The Parallel port
is located on the optional USB card, that fits into one of the available PCI slots on the Network Controller,
at the back of the machine. The Parallel Port can be used for printing directly from a laptop or workstation
connected via a Parallel cable.
