1.5Installing the Personality Module (only Printer CI - 4050)

The printer functions only in combination with an installed interface module, called a Personality Module (PM).

-Never attempt to install or remove a PM while the printer is switched ON.

1.Remove the PM (1) from its packaging.

2.Insert the Personality Module (1) with the component side upwards until the connector fully engages. Hand tighten the two lock screws (2).
