Connecting via Parallel
A parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of
connection provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high
density parallel printer cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density
1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the parallel
cable to the printer and the computer while they are both
Off
, and then turn them
On
. Install
the printer driver from the
Software and Documentation CD-ROM
, and select the appropriate
LPT parallel port.
