Parallel printer
You can connect any standard Centronics-compatible parallel printer to 
your computer. All you need is an IBM PC™ parallel printer cable. Your 
dealer can supply one or you can purchase one at most computer stores.
The cable’s connectors are designed so that it is impossible for you to 
connect them incorrectly. To connect a printer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer’s power.
2. Connect the cable into the Advanced Port Replicator III’s parallel port.
3. Tighten the screws that fasten the connector to the Advanced Port 
Replicator III’s parallel port.
4. Connect the other connecter of the cable into the printer’s parallel 
connector.
5. Fasten the connector to the printer with the clips on the parallel port.
6. Turn on the printer’s power.
7. Turn on the computer’s power.
8. Start the HW Setup program. Refer to Chapter 7, 
.
9. Select the Parallel/Printer tab from the TOSHIBA HW Setup 
window. 
10.  Set the Parallel Port Mode and press OK.
11.  Choose Reboot for the change to take effect.
12.  Select the printer in Windows Add Print Wizard. To access the Add 
Print Wizard
 utility, click start, click Control Panel, click Printers
