Notes
• Be sure to connect one printer to one computer. Do not connect two computers to
the printer.

the printer at the same time.
• Before connecting the cable, make sure to turn off the power switches on your
computer and any peripheral equipment.
• Grasp the connector at the end of the cable, and firmly insert it into the socket.
• The total length of the SCSI cabling used with a single-host computer should be
less than 6 meters.
• The parallel data cable should be less than 3 meters long and should conform to
Centronics specifications for printer cables.
• Avoid sending parallel data to the printer while the printer is processing SCSI
commands, and vice versa.
