Connecting to a computer

The interface card is equipped with two cable 
connectors. One is used to connect the card to the 
computer, and the other is used to connect other IEEE 
1394 devices in a daisy chain. Use the cable supplied 
when making the connection. The cable can be 
connected without switching off the power supply to 
the computer or the printer because it complies with 
the IEEE 1394 standard. Cables can be connected 
whether the printer or computer are on or off. 

When connecting the printer directly to a 
computer

1.

Connect the cable connector to the computer's 
IEEE 1394 port (FireWire port).

2.

The other cable can be connected to any of the 
IEEE 1394 ports on the interface card attached to 
the printer (any of the ports may be used).
