H Installing the interface board

Figure 1-7. Slide the IjF board into the slot.
A parallel interface board comes standard with your printer.
In addition, there are two optional interface (I/F) boards: a
serial interface board that lets you connect to a serial (RS232C)
computer port; and the other board contains extra buffer
memory for parallel output. All three boards are installed the
same way.
To install or change an I/F board, turn off the power and
turn the printer around. Notice the snap-on cover at the left
end. Take it off by sliding it upwards.
Fit the I/F board into the side slots and slide it all the way
down (don’t force it). Make sure that the board connector is
seated snugly in its socket. Put the cover back on and connect
the cable from your computer - you’re ready to go.
