Installing the paper support

Insert the ends of the paper support into the slots on the printer as shown in the following illustration.

Connecting to your computer

The computer sends data to the printer through a cable. This printer does not come with a cable, so you must purchase one of your own. You will probably want to use a standard parallel cable for connection, but note that you can also use an optional Serial-To- Parallel Interface Converter (SPC-8K).

Important!

The following instructions apply to the Centronics parallel cable that is used with an IBM-compatible personal computer. Note that they do not apply to all types of computers and cables. If you are unsure about what type of cable you should use to connect with your computer, consult with your dealer.

For an IBM-compatible personal computer:

Use a standard 36-pin Centronics parallel cable.

The parallel cable should be no longer than six feet (two meters). Longer cables can result in poor transfer of information.

Important!

Make sure that the printer is unplugged from the AC outlet and that the computer is switched off before connecting them.
