INSTALLING OPTIONAL FONT CARTRIDGES

You may install two optional font cartridges in the slots beneath the paper

cassette, at the front of the Star LaserPrinter 8111 (referred to as slot #l and

slot #2). If the power is off, simply hold one of the cartridges at its label end,

label facing up, and insert it into the slot, pushing it as far back as it will go.

Part of the label end will protrude from the printer’s frame.

If you want to change a cartridge while the power is on, do this:
