Installing Your Hardware

EpsonScript for the ActionLaser 1600 comes with two interface boards: the EpsonScript board and the LocalTalk interface board.

In a PC environment, you need to install the EpsonScript board only. In a Macintosh environment, you need to install both the EpsonScript and LocalTalk interface boards.

If your ActionLaser 1600 is already equipped with EpsonScript and LocalTalk (if needed), you can skip this chapter.

Removing the controller board

The EpsonScript and LocalTalk interface boards attach to connectors on the printer’s controller board. Therefore, you first need to remove the controller board.

Warning:

High voltages are present inside the printer when the power is on. Do not attempt to remove the controller board unless the printer is turned off and the power cord is unplugged. Also, do not touch the contacts on the board because many of the components can be damaged by static electricity.

1.Turn off the printer and unplug the power cable from the electrical outlet.

2.Remove any optional font cartridges and the lower paper cassette, if installed.

3.Disconnect all interface cables from the interface connectors.

4.Turn the printer so that its left side is facing you.
