1. Setting up

Requirements

Requirements

Before using this machine you must make sure that all the environmental and
electrical requirements have been met. Connect the machine to your host com­puter using the parallel port, optional Network Interface Board 450-E (NIB 450­E), or both.

Make sure that all the cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to at­tach the machine to your host computer or network are present.

Reference

For further information on using the parallel port. ⇒ P.5 “Connecting the Ma-

chine”

For information on using a network. ⇒ P.5 “Connecting the Machine”

Parallel Cable Requirements

Connect the machine to your 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 connection 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 more than 3 meters (10 feet) long.
