Connections
You may connect a printer to the Internet Terminal. This will enable you to
print email messages and Internet pages. To see which printers can be con-
nected and to learn how to print, select Using WebTV from the Web Home
Page, then select Instructions, then select Printing.
To connect a printer, follow these steps.
Turn off the Internet Terminal and disconnect the power cord.
Connect one end of a parallel printer cable to the Printer Port jack on the
back of the Internet Terminal.
Connect the other end of the printer cable to the connector on your printer
(refer to the printer owner’s manual).
You will not need to use the software disks that came with your printer. The
only software needed to print from your Internet Terminal is provided by the
WebTV Network.
