This printer can be connected to the host computer via two available interfaces. The interface
connectors are located on the rear of the printer.
• A bidirectional IEEE1284 parallel interface
• A RS232C/422A serial interface
Before connecting the interface cable, make sure that the printer and the host computer are
turned OFF .
Insert the parallel interface cable into the parallel connector and fasten it by means of the clips.
Insert the serial interface cable into the serial connector, and fasten it by means of the two screws
(use the screwdriver).
