NOTICE: Complete the operating system setup before you connect a printer to
the computer.
See the documentation that came with the printer for setup information,
including how to:
•
Obtain and install updated drivers
•
Connect the printer to the computer
•

•
Contact the printer manufacturer for technical assistance
Printer Cable
Your printer connects to your computer with either a USB cable or a parallel
cable. Your printer may not come with a printer cable, so if you purchase a
cable separately, ensure that it is compatible with your printer. If you
purchased a printer cable at the same time you purchased your computer,
the cable may arrive in the computer box.
Connecting a Parallel Printer
Complete the operating system setup, if you have not already done so.
1
Turn off the computer (see page 38).
2
NOTICE: For best results, use a 3 m (10 ft) or shorter parallel cable.
Attach the parallel printer cable to the parallel connector on the
3
computer and tighten the two screws. Attach the cable to the
connector on the printer and snap the two clips into the two notches.
