Verifying the parallel port connection
On the Fiery X3e, the parallel connector (female 36-pin mini-Centronics) provides a
high-speed interface port for connecting directly to the parallel port of a PC. The parallel
port can be used for installing system software (see page 3-20) and for printing
documents.
The Fiery X3e can be connected to the network and to a parallel port device at the same
time. See Figure 3-2 on page 3-4.
An IEEE 1284 bi-directional cable is required. One end of the cable requires a male
IEEE 1284-C (36-pin mini-Centronics) connector for connecting to the Fiery X3e.

For optimal performance, use a short cable. Longer cables may cause erroneous
operation.
