GETTING STARTED
Connection
1. Make sure both the printer and the computer are turned off.
2. Plug one end of the printer cable into the printer and the other end into the computer's parallel
connector.
In order to have best performance, make sure to use shielded parallel cable.
NOTES
For specifications of the parallel interface of your computer, see its operation manual.
The printer sends and receives data bi-directionally and at high speed. Some switch boxes cannot support high-speed bi-
directional data transfer and using them might cause printing errors.
For further details on the specifications of the printer's parallel interface, consult an authorized Sharp dealer.
Network Interface
The printer can also be connected to a network using an optional network interface card (Print
Server Card) supplied by authorized Sharp dealers. For details on network interface, see the
operation manual of the network interface card.
For additional network utilities, see the separate supplemental manual.
