Plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet only. Avoid sharing an outlet that is also powering other noise-generating equipment.

The V8.5e comes equipped with a Versatec short line TTL (transistor to transistor logic) interface. This interface can be used for data cable lengths up to 50 feet.

An optional long line interface (differential) can be used for data cable lengths up to 700 feet.

For optional Centronics interface setup, see Appendix C.

An external SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is also available. Please contact your Imaging Systems Group Inc. product representitive for further information.
