Connecting via Parallel
A parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of connection
provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high density parallel printer
cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density 1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum
length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the parallel cable to the printer and the computer while they are
both

CD-ROM
, and select the appropriate LPT parallel port.
