This section shows you how to connect your SuperScript
4400 Series printer to your computer or network.
note:
You can be connected to and receive data at the
parallel port and Ethernet port at the same time.
Connecting the 4400 Printer
If you have a SuperScript 4400, you can
connect to an IBM
®
-compatible computer
using the bidirectional parallel interface. We
recommend an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable that is
no more than 6 feet in length. If you use a cable that is longer
than 6 feet, it should be certified as bidirectional. Use the wire
clips to fasten the cable to the printer.
Follow these basic steps
1.
Make sure your computer and printer are turned off.
2.
Plug the parallel cable into the parallel port on your
computer and printer.
3.
Turn on your printer, wait until it displays the
READY
message, then turn on your computer.

Connecting the 4400N Network Printer
If you have a SuperScript 4400N, you can
connect to an Ethernet network. Use a
Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45
connectors for 10/100Base-T Ethernet.
Follow these basic steps to connect the printer and verify that
the NIC is installed and operating properly.
1.
Make sure your computer and printer are turned off.
2.
Connect the network’s twisted pair cable with
RJ-45 connectors to the new network port on your
printer. Reattach the power cord to the printer, plug in
the printer.
3.
Turn on the printer. It may take up to 90 seconds to warm
up, and then it prints a Network Settings page with NIC
status information (shown on page 72).
note:
Keep the Network Settings page. You will need
this information when configuring the NIC for your
network.
