❏Plug one end of the parallel cable into the parallel
port of your computer. The parallel port should
be labelled “Printer”, “Parallel”, “PRN”, “LPT1”,
or something similar.
❏Plug the other end of the parallel cable into the
socket on the side of the printer and secure it in
place with the clips.

Connecting to a power outlet

❏Plug the power cord of the printer into a standard
power outlet whose voltage matches the power
rating noted on the label affixed to the bottom of
your printer.
Note that the printer does not have a power switch to
turn power on and off. Instead, its Sleep Mode
automatically reduces power consumption whenever
you leave the printer unattended. For full details
about the Sleep Mode, see “Sleep” on page33 of this
manual.
Note:
Consult with your dealer for details on how to set up
your computer when using the optional SPC-8K
Serial-To-Parallel Interface Converter.
Important!
We recommend that you unplug the printer from the
power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for
long periods. Because of the this, you should locate
the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into
is nearby and easy to access.
