Before Making
the Connection
4-3 Connecting to a PC
What You Need
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 one of the following:
n
A parallel cable with a 36-pin male and a 25-pin male connector
or
n
A serial cable with either a 9-pin female and a 9- or 25-pin con-
nector
(depending on your computer’s serial port) and a null
modem adapter.
» Note: See the “Cable Pinouts” section of appendix B, in the
Reference guide for cable pinout information.
How to Choose a Cable
Parallel cable—If a parallel port is available on your computer, we
recommend using a parallel cable. Your printer supports both
Centronics parallel and IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communica-
tion. The type of parallel cable you use depends on the type of paral-
lel communication your computer supports (check your computer
user’s guide if you’re unsure).
n
If your computer supports only IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel
communication, you need an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel
cable (IEEE 1284 is indicated on cable) . This cable must be 6.5
feet/2 meters or less in length.
n
If your computer supports only Centronics parallel unidirectional
communication, you may use either a Centronics parallel cable
(marked on cable) or an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable
(IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). However, we recommend
an IEEE 1284 cable. It must be 6.5 feet/2 meters or less in length
while the Centronics cable may be longer.
