If your printer was damaged in shipping, or if any items are missing, notify your dealer immediately.

NOTE: In addition to the items shipped with your printer, you need a Centronic®-compatible, parallel interface cable, which you can purchase from your dealer.

As you unpack the printer, save the carton and packing materials in case you want to move or ship the printer in the future. Remove all the shipping tape and any Styrofoam packing material used to protect the printer during shipping.

Open the front cover and remove the tape that secures the ink cartridge holder. Make sure the paper thickness lever is to the left for printing on normal paper.

NOTE: Be sure to fill out your Registration card and send it to Canon Computer Systems, Inc.
