One end of the parallel cable requires a male IEEE 1284-B (36-pin Centronics)
connector for connecting to the Fiery X3e.

If you use a computer with Windows XP or Windows 2000, installing system
software over the parallel port may succeed, but if it fails or runs too slowly, install system
software over the network port instead (see “Installing system software over the network
port” on page 27).

The computer must be configured so the parallel port mode in the BIOS is set to ECP.
When you access the computer BIOS to set the parallel port mode to ECP, you may
discover that ECP is the default mode, or you may discover that ECP mode is not
supported at all. If ECP is not supported, you can either install an add-in board (not
provided), use a different computer, or opt for a much slower installation using
Compatibility Mode.
