Install Basic Components

The following section gives instructions on essential procedures which keep your printer operational on a day-to-day basis.

Connect the Interface and Power Cables

Before you connect the interface and power cables, verify the voltage source at the printer site conforms to the requirements specified on page 17. Make sure the printer power switch is set to OFF (see Figure 21).

WARNING To prevent serious personal injury from electrical shock when connecting or disconnecting the host interface (signal) cable, make sure that the printer is powered off and the power cable is unplugged.

WARNUNG Um ernstliche körperliche Verletzungen durch Stromschlag beim Anschließen oder Trennen des Signalton-Kabels zu vermeiden, muß der Drucker auf jeden Fall ausgeschaltet und der Netzstecker herausgezogen werden.

ATTENTION Afin d'éviter tout risque de blessure par électrocution lors du branchement ou du débranchement du câble de signal, mettre l'imprimante hors tension et débrancher le câble d'alimentation.
