3.Press the Enter button again. The message on the LCD panel starts flashing and the printer starts printing a status sheet.

4.Check that the printer has printed the status sheet clearly and that information on the options installed in the printer is correct. If the printer properly recognizes an installed option, the option’s name appears under Hardware Configurations.

If the printer cannot print a status sheet, or if you are unable to get the printer to print a correct status sheet, contact your dealer.

Connecting to the Computer

To connect your computer to the printer’s built-in parallel interface, you need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel interface cable that is IEEE-1284 compatible.

Note:

If you want to connect the printer to your computer through an installed optional interface card, you need a different type of cable. See the optional interface card’s manual.

Follow these steps to connect the printer to your computer using the parallel interface:

1.Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.

2.Plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s parallel interface connector, then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on both sides of the connector.
