Getting Started
Parallel Cable Requirements
Connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel port. This machine
does not provide the parallel cable to connect the machine to the host computer.
The machine's parallel interface is a standard bi-directional interface. It requires
a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port
available on the host computer.
Note
❒
Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
Network Cable Requirements
Optional Network Interface Board 450-E can be installed to allow direct connection to an Ethernet network.
Network Interface Board supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections.
You can use the machine in the following network environments:
• Using the appropriate network management software and printer driver.
• Attaching the machine to a networked computer set up as a server.
