Connecting the Printer to the Computer
There are various ways of connecting the printer to the computer, such as through the
parallel interface connector, serial interface connector, or through the option network
interface card.
Printer Connections
Before performing this step, be sure to turn off both the printer and the com-
puter’s power switches and unplug the printer’s power plug from the power
outlet. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.
A standard Centronics parallel interface connector (
) and serial (RS-232C)
interface connector (
IOIOI
) are located on the rear of the printer.
