Printer Requirements

Requirements

Before using the printer, confirm that all the environmental and electrical requirements have been 

met. Connect the unit to your host computer using the parallel port, optional Network Interface 

Board 185, or both.

Confirm that all the cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to attach the printer to your 

host computer or network are present.

•

The interface cable is not supplied in the box. It is your responsibility to provide the 

interface cable appropriate for the computer that you are using.

Parallel Cable Requirements

Connect the printer to your host computer using a parallel port. The parallel cable to connect the 

printer to the host computer is not included with the printer.

The printer’s parallel interface is a standard bidirectional interface. It requires a standard 36-pin 

parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port available on the host computer.

•

Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
