Making a Parallel Connection

If you have a new PC and it has not been connected yet, before con-

necting the printer to the PC, you should follow the manufacturer’s

instructions for setting up the PC and installing (if necessary) any

operating system software, such as DOS and/or Windows.

What You Need for a Parallel Interface

Interface cables are not included with your printer. If you’re replacing

a printer, you may already have the necessary cables. If not, you’ll

need to purchase the cables from your QMS vendor or a local com-

puter store.

To connect your printer to a single PC, you need a parallel cable with

a 36-pin male and a 25-pin male connector.

» Note:

See the “Cable Pinouts” section of appendix B, in the

Reference

guide,

for cable pinout information.

How to Choose a Parallel Cable

Your printer supports both Centronics parallel, and IEEE 1284 bidirec-

tional parallel communication. The type of parallel cable you use

depends on the type of parallel communication your computer sup-

ports (check your computer user’s guide if you’re unsure).

n If your computer supports IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel com-

munication, you need an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable

(IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). This cable must be 6.5

feet/2 meters or less in length.

n If your computer supports only Centronics parallel unidirectional

communication, you may use either a Centronics parallel cable

(unmarked on cable) or an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel cable

(IEEE 1284 is indicated on the cable). However, we recommend

an IEEE 1284 cable. The IEEE 1284 cable must be 6.5 feet/2

meters or less in length while the Centronics cable may be longer.
