Page 24

Connecting Parallel Cable

To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel cable. (These cables are clearly marked with “IEEE-1284.”) Only IEEE-1284 cables support all of the printer’s advanced features.

1 Make sure the printer and your

computer are turned off.

2 Connect the parallel cable to the

printer parallel port. Press the locking release levers in while connecting the cable.

Note

The cable should install easily. If installation is difficult, check the cable orientation.

3 Connect the other end of the cable

to the proper connector on the computer.

Note

See the printer user guide for information on ordering a two or three meter IEEE1284 parallel cable.

Step 14 Install Printing Software

The printer comes with printing software on a compact disc. The printer drivers on this compact disc must be installed to take full advantage of the printer features. If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, but y ou ha v e access to one, y ou can copy the printing software from the compact disc onto diskettes for installation on your computer.

If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, a diskette is provided with the basic printer drivers. (The diskette does not have all of the software available on the compact disc.) The most recent drivers are availab le on the Internet. Depending on the configuration of Windowsdriven computers, the installation program for the printer software automatically checks the computer for Internet access to obtain the latest software.

See the HP Support pages at the front of the printer user guide and the Readme file on the diskette for additional information or to order diskettes if you do not have Internet access.
