* Sato also recommends that
you jump 4-5 and 6-20 on the printers end of the cable.
* This cabling configuration
is a Null Modem Cable. You can purchase a Null Modem Cable from
your local Computer Store. If you don't have the equipment or
the expertise to make a cable it is recommended that you
purchase the cable instead of trying to make one.
