A.Connecting PrimeraPro To Your Amiga

IMPORTANT NOTE

1.Connect the Centronics-type parallel side to the PrimeraPro. Snap the fastening clips into place.

2.Connect the other side to the back of your Amiga at the PARALLEL connector and tighten the cableÕs fastening screws.

PrimeraPro is designed to be used with nearly any Amiga with system software 2.x or higher. Your system must have a minimum of 2 meg of RAM to work with PrimeraPro, however, 4 meg of RAM or higher is recommended.

PrimeraPro uses a standard Centronics-type parallel port. Obtain the correct cable (not included) from your dealer or from FARGO and connect PrimeraPro to your Amiga as follows:

ALWAYS connect the printer with the power OFF to both the PrimeraPro and the Amiga. Failure to do so may damage, or at least lock-up the parallel port on the Amiga. Also, do not use parallel cables longer than 6 feet. If you experience a data transmission error (indicated by a slow flashing On Line LED) try printing with a shorter, shielded parallel cable.
