Connect the Printer to Your Computer

You can connect your Epson Stylus Color 1520 printer to either an IBM
®
or an Apple Macintosh. You'll need a shielded parallel cable to connect directly to a PC
or an Apple System Peripheral-8 serial cable to connect directly to a Macintosh. If your
Macintosh doesn't have a serial port, you'll need the USB Adapter Kit (part number
C-USB-PK4).

ordering accessories, see the Introduction in your on-screen User's Guide.
See Appendix A of your on-screen User's Guide for instructions on
installing an optional network interface card if you want to use the printer
on a network.

Connecting to a PC

1. Turn off the printer and your computer.
2. Connect the cable to the printer's parallel interface. Then squeeze the wire clips together
until they lock in place. If your cable has a ground wire, connect it now.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer's parallel port and secure it as
necessary. See your computer documentation for details.
Note:
The printer is assigned to parallel port LPT1 when you install the software.
If you want to use a different port, see your Windows documentation for
