Oki DP-5000 manual Dye sublimation upgrade kit, Installing the upgrade

Dye sublimation upgrade kit

The Dye Sublimation Upgrade Kit enables your OKI DP-5000 to print true continuous-tone images, without dots, through the magic of dye sublimation technology. The upgrade itself is as simple as plugging in the spe- cial electronic key and pressing a button. At the same time, you lose none of the other features of the DP- 5000, and you can still print with other DP-5000 supply inks anytime you want.

Installing the upgrade

To install the DP-5000 Dye Sublimation Upgrade Kit for a Windows PC (parallel port connection), an Apple iMac (USB port connection) or a Macintosh (SCSI in- terface module) follow these steps:

1.Turn off the computer and printer, and then dis- connect the printer cable (or SCSI cable for the Macintosh) and power cord from the printer.

2.Remove the rectangular plastic connector cover located to the right of the printer connector on the back of the printer. Locate the black tab at the bottom of the connector cover, pull it up and twist it until it breaks free, revealing the accessory con- nector beneath.

3.If using Apple Macintosh remove SCSI interface module from the back of the printer to reveal the accessory connector just to the right of the printer connector.

4.Plug the electronic key (1) from the Upgrade Kit into the accessory connector (2) with the notched corner of the key on top, as shown below. The connector only fits one way.
