If anything is missing, contact the store where you bought the printer and ask them to supply the missing part. Note that it is a good idea to keep the original box and all the packing materials just in case you need to pack the printer up again and send it somewhere at a later date.

A serial-to-parallel interface converter (SPC-8K), a serial interface unit (IS- 8H192), a pull tractor (PT-10HA), and an Automatic Sheet Feeder (SF-10HA) are also available as options. Consult your dealer for details.

Important!

There are several versions of this printer designed for different voltages. It is not possible to change the voltage of a printer. If the voltage shown on the label on the bottom of your printer does not match the voltage for your area, contact your dealer immediately.
