If anything is missing, contact the store where you bought the printer and ask them to supply the missing part.

A push tractor unit (PT-10Y) and a Serial-To-Parallel Interface Converter (SPC-8K) are also available as options. Consult with your dealer for details on these options.

Note:

It is a good idea to keep the original box and all the packing materials just in case you later need to pack the printer up again and send it somewhere at a later date.
