Your printer is equipped with a selection of data interfaces:
1. Parallel – For direct connection to a PC. This port
requires a bi-directional (IEEE 1284 compliant) parallel
cable.
2. USB – For connection to a PC running Windows 98 or
above (not Windows 95 upgraded to Windows 98) or
Macintosh. This port requires a cable conforming to USB
version 2.0 or above.
The operation of a printer is not assured if a USB
compatible device is connected concurrently with other
USB-compatible machines.
When connecting multiple printers of the same type, they
appear as *****, ***** (2), ***** (3), etc. These
numbers depend on the order of connecting or turning on
each printer.
3. Serial – for direct connection to a device that uses serial
printing (available as an option).
4. Ethernet – For network cable connection. This port is
standard on the B4400n, B4600n and B4600nPS and
optional on the B4400, B4600, B4600PS.
If you are connecting your printer directly to a stand alone
computer proceed to the chapter entitled “Printer Drivers”.
If your printer is to be installed as a network printer, please refer
to the relevant section in the User’s Guide for the network
interface card for further details on how to configure the network
connection before installing the printer drivers.
NOTE
> It is not recommended that you connect serial/USB and
parallel cables to the printer simultaneously.
> Interface cables are not supplied with your printer.
NOTE
Administrator’s authority is required when installing a
network connection.
