If you are connecting the printer to your computer using the serial port: 1. Connect one end of the six-pin cable to the six-pin socket located in the back of your printer. Figure 1-19, below is a picture of the serial port. The cable is keyed so that you cannot plug it into the socket the wrong way. The pins are positioned so that a slight pressure will insert the pins properly. Do not force these pins; doing so could damage your cable. Figure 1-19. Serial port 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the computer. Again, make sure you are keying the pins properly into the connector with six holes. Refer to figure 1-20 below. Figure 1- 20 .
