What You Need for a Parallel Connection
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.
How to Choose a Parallel Cable
Your printer supports both Centronics parallel and IEEE 1284 bidirec-
tional parallel communications. The type of parallel cable you use
depends on the type of parallel communication your computer sup-
ports (check your computer user’s manual 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.
n
If your computer supports only Centronics parallel unidirectional
communication, you may use either a Centronics parallel cable
(unmarked on cable) or an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable
(IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). QMS recommends the
IEEE 1284 cable. The IEEE 1284 cable must be 6.5 feet/2 meters
or less in length while the Centronics cable may be longer.
