Requirements
Before using this machine, confirm 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 185, or both.
Confirm that all the cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to attach
the machine to your host computer or network are present.
Important
❒ The interface cable is not supplied in the box. It is your responsibility to pro-
vide the interface cable appropriate for the computer that you are using.

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 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
The optional Network Interface Board 185 can be installed to allow direct connection to an Ethernet network.
The Network Interface Board supports 10BASE-T or 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.

PCL Printer Drivers
Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer via a
printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are
included in the CD-ROM that comes with this machine. We recommend the
PCL 6 as your first choice. However, some of your applications might require
the installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you might configure
to install and print by using PCL 5e in addition to the PCL 6.
