Connecting Parallel Cable

To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284 bi-directional C-type 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.

Note

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

2 Connect the parallel cable to the

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

Step 14 Install Printing Software

The printer comes with printing software on a CD-ROM. The printer drivers on this CD-R OM must be installed t o take full adv antage of the printer features . If your computer does not have a CD-ROM driv e , b ut you have access to one, you can copy the printing software from the CD-ROM onto diskettes for installation on your computer.

If you do not have access to a CD-R OM driv e , go to www.hp.com and download the drivers, or call HP to order diskettes. The most recent drivers are available on the Internet. Depending on the configuration of Windows-driven compu ters, the installation program for the printer software automatically checks the computer for Internet access to obtain the latest software.

Note Printer installation software for UNIX (HP-UX, Sun Solaris) networks is

available for download at http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing. For configura tion and management using your web browser, use

HP Web JetAdmin. For information on HP Web JetAdmin, go to http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.
