PLUG-IN INTERFACE MODULES

The Series “e” and PRO printers have user changable Plug-In Interface Modules. The Interface Module is accessible from the Rear Panel and is retained by two screws. Use the following procedure to replace an interface molule.

1. Turn power off both the printer and the host and remove the power and interface cables.

WARNING: Never connect or disconnect interface cables (or use a switch box) with power applied to either the host or the printer. This may cause damage to the interface circuitry and is not covered by warranty.

2.Remove the two Interface Module Retaining Screws.

3.Grasp the Interface Module and pull it out of the connector.

4.Place the new Interface Module in the slot and press inward firmly until it is properly seated.

5.Replace the two Interface Card Retaining Screws.

6.If the new Interface Module is for a serial interface, set DSW1 for the proper operation.

7.Connect the interface cable to the connector
