3-3 Connecting to a PC
Before Making the Connection
If you have a new PC and it has not been connected yet, before con-
necting the printer to the PC, you should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for setting up the PC and installing (if necessary) any
operating system software, such as DOS and/or Windows.
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 Cen-
tronics parallel, and IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communication.
The type of parallel cable you use depends on the type of parallel
communication your computer supports (check your computer user’s
guide if you’re unsure).
n
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.
