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.

Reference

For more information on using the parallel port, see P.3 “Connecting the Machine to the Host Using the Parallel Interface Cable”.

For more information on using a network, see P.2 “Network Cable Requirements”.

Getting Acquainted

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.

Connecting the Machine

Connecting the Machine to t he Host Using the Parallel Interface Cable

Connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel interface cable compliant with IEEE 1284 (supplied by you).

Follow these steps to connect the machine to your host computer.

A Confirm that you have the correct cable. B Confirm that both the machine and the host computer are turned off. C Plug the 36-pin end of the parallel cable into the parallel port at the right

side of the back cover of the machine.

Reference

See P.1 “Connecting the Machine” to confirm of the position of the parallel port.

D Squeeze the wire clips on each side of the connector together until they

snap into place. The clips hold the cable securely in place.

E Plug the other end of the parallel cable into the computer's parallel port.

Connecting the Machine Using the Network Interface Board 185

Connect the machine to the network using the Network Interface Board 185. Follow these steps to connect the machine.

A Confirm that you have the correct cable. B Confirm that the machine is turned off. C Loop the network cable. The loop should be about 10cm (4”) from the end

of the cable on the end closest to the printer.

D Attach the ferrite core to the loop.

3. Installing the Printer Driver and Software

All of the procedures in this manual assume that you are familiar with general Windows procedures and practices. If you are not, see the documentation that comes with Windows for details.

Auto Run

You can install the printer driver by using Auto Run. Auto Run is available for the following operating systems:

• Windows 95/98
