!	Caution
	Risk of damage to the unit!
	Switch the unit off before connecting the parallel printer to the LPT 1 port (the
	printer should also be switched off).

Make sure that you use the correct port. If you use the wrong port or wrong connecting cables, the port may be damaged.

Before plugging in the cables, the electrostatic charge of your body, the unit, and the cables must be equalized. To do this, touch the mounting plate for the ports on the left-hand side of the unit.

Only use original connecting cables.
