If you have installed an optional Tri-Port Adapter, you can
locally attach the printer with a serial cable. We recom-
mend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft). For details
on LocalTalk or infrared connections, refer to the docu-
mentation that shipped with the Tri-Port Adapter.
Note: All Windows operating systems support parallel
cable connections. However, only the Windows 98/
Me and Windows 2000 operating systems support
USB cable connections.
To attach the printer to a computer:
1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other
attached devices are turned off and unplugged.
2 Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel
or USB cable.
– Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to
ensure that you can access all of your printer
functions.
– Be sure to match the USB symbol on the
cable to the USB symbol on the printer.
