Connecting the Printer to
Your
Computer
If the self test printed correctly, you are now ready to connect your
printer to the computer.
Your
DFX
printer has two separate interface connections: a parallel
interface and an
RS-232C
compatible serial interface. If you are not
sure which one is required by your computer, check your computer
manual.

If you have a suitable shielded cable, you should be able to connect
the printer to most computers immediately. If your computer
requires another type of interface, you need to use an optional
interface board. See the section on interface boards in Chapter
5.
The parallel interface is the printer’s default
setting.
If you need to
use the built-in
serial
interface, be sure to change the DIP switch
settings as shown in Chapter
3.
