SETTING UP THE PRINTER

Consider the following when setting up the printer/

∙Locate a solid flat surface with adequate room to set the printer. Make sure the Power Module can be located so that the power connecting cable can be attached to the printer and the AC Power Cable can be connected to an AC power outlet.

∙The location should be near the host or computer terminal. The maximum distance is:

-10 feet for the Parallel interface. To fully utilize the capabilities of the printer, a cable meeting IEEE 1284 specifications must be used.

-18 feet for the optional Serial RS232 Interface.

-10 feet for the optional USB interface without hub.

-the optional 10baseT Ethernet Interface depends upon the LAN cabling.

∙For imformation on interfacing the printer to a host system, see Section 5. Interface Specifications.

Follow these steps to set up your printer:

1.Make sure the power switch on the Operator Panel is in the OFF (0) position and place the Power Module in a safe and secure location, taking into consideration the location of the AC outlet and the host in relation to the printer.

2.Connect the Input Power connector to the printer. This connector is keyed and must be turned approximately 3/4 turn clockwise to secure it to the printer.

3.Connect the AC Power Cable to the proper AC Outlet supply.

4.Connect the interface cable to the host system. A parallel IEEE1284 interface cable must be used to realize the high data transfer rate of the printer’s parallel port. If an optional interface is installed, the appropriate cable should be used.
