Interfacing with your Computer
Parallel Interface
Your printer has a high-speed, bi-directional parallel IEEE 1284 interface
port. Purchase a cable marked IEEE 1284 compliant. To comply with
FCC regulations, the cable must be shielded and ULand CSA
approved. Consult your PC manual for details on cable requirements and
interface ports on your computer.
➯ OKIDATA has tested and approved the following bi-directional
cable: Part# 70000803. See Section 5 for purchasing information.
Serial Interface
Your printer also has an RS232C serial interface. If you use this interface,
be sure that the printer is configured properly. See your computer’s
documentation for the correct settings, and Section 2 of this guide for
details on how to configure the printer through its Level 2 menu.
Connecting the Cable
Make sure the printer and computer are off.
1. Insert the printer end of the cable firmly into the appropriate
connector on the back of the printer. Fasten the cable to the
printer securely.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper connector on
your computer. Fasten the cable securely to your computer.
Attaching the Power Cord
1. Make sure the printer power switch (on left side) is set off.
