Installing the paper support

❏Insert the ends of the paper support into the slots on the printer as shown in the following illustration.

Connecting to your computer

The computer sends data to the printer through a cable. This printer does not come with a cable, so you must purchase one of your own. You will probably want to use a standard parallel cable for connection, but note that you can also use an optional Serial-To-Parallel Interface Converter (SPC-8K).
