Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
4.
If your cable has a grounding wire, connect it to the printer’s
ground connector as shown.
5.
Plug the other end of the connector into your computer. Some
parallel cables have grounding wires at the computer end as
well. If so, connect this wire to the ground screw on the
computer.
Note: You can use the SelecType CH CONFIG option to change
some of the parallel interface settings. However, you will
probably never need to change these settings.
Now that you have connected the parallel interface, see Chapter 5
for information on operating your printer with your application
program.
Connecting
the serial interface cable
If you want to use the printer’s standard serial interface, make sure
that you have a properly shielded cable and that it is the correct
one for your printer.
Follow these steps to connect the serial interface cable:
1. Turn off both the printer and computer. Then unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
