Note: Before setting up the printer you should consider the following:
1. Find a flat surface with adequate room for the printer. Make sure there is
enough room on the top side for media and ribbon access.
2. The location should be near the PC. consider the distance between PC and
printer for the communication cable (parallel cable).
Parallel Interface Requirements
Note: This printer complies with FCC “Rules and Regulations”, Part 15, for
Class B Equipment, using fully shielded six-foot data cables. Use of longer
cables or unshielded cables may increase radiated emissions above the
Class B limits.
The included cable (IEE 1284-compliant) has a standard 36-pin parallel connector
on one end, which is plugged into the parallel port located on the back of the
printer. The other end of the parallel interface cable connects to the parallel port
on the host computer.
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with metal or
metalized connector shells. Shielded cables and connectors are required to
prevent radiation and reception of electrical noise.
To minimize electric noise pickup in the cable:
1. Keep data cables as short as possible (6 feet recommended).
2. Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
3. Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
