5 Installing the Interface Card

If your printer already has the interface card installed, go ahead to Step 6. (Look back to Step 1 to see how the card looks when it is installed.)

Warning:

If you have been operating the printer, first turn it off, then unplug it before attempting to install or remove the interface card.

First, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws shown above. Set them aside carefully so they won’t get lost. Take off the U-shaped protective metal plate to gain access to the printer. Remove the interface card from its package, taking care not to touch the electrical parts.

Now, ease the card into the printer by sliding it into the grooves as shown below. The metal back plate of the card should be toward you and the electrical parts should be on too.
