Users manual

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

A serial-to-parallel interface converter (SPC-8K) is also available as an option. Consult with your dealer for details.

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.
