Note: Placing the printer on the print stand is best accomplished with two people. Proper lifting technique should be observed.
Caution: Before connecting or turning on power, make sure that all shipping materials have been removed. These materials include a cable tie that secures the print head carriage (open ribbon lid to access) and remove the cable tie securing the front panel to the base. When unpacking a FormsPro 4503se, open the front of the unit by releasing the latch panel of the printer. Remove the two cable ties securing the tractor shuttle to the front of the lower side plates, and the two ties located toward the rear of the shuttle assembly.
Next, connect the power cord supplied with the printer to the printer and an appropriate power outlet. Now connect the computer cable to the appropriate interface on the rear panel of the printer.
Interface Set Up
Depending upon which interface is being used to connect the printer to the host computer, some set up may or may not be required. This is true of the standard parallel or serial ports The factory default settings for each interface should work well for most installations. However, the following paragraphs provide some basic information about each interface and also refer to the page number in the Configuration chapter where all the details for each interface are described. If you need to make changes to the default settings, please refer to “Introduction to Setup” on page 43 for instructions on how to access the printer’s Setup menus.
Once you are comfortable that the interface settings match those required by your computer, proceed to the next section, “Installing the Ribbon Cartridge” on page 10.
