Important!

To decrease the noise that is produced, position the AC adaptor so that its model name (PS48-24A) faces upward.

We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access.

At this point you may want to perform a test of the printer to make sure it is working properly. See page 18 for details on how to test the printer.

Connecting to your host computer

The computer sends data to the printer through a cable to the printer’s standard serial interface (Connector Type: D-sub 9-pin). This printer does not come with a cable, so you must purchase one separately. You can also install one of two optionally available interface boards that provide either a parallel interface or D-sub 25-pin serial interface. See page 32 for details on optional interface boards.

Important!

The following instructions apply to the serial 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 your dealer.

See “Setting the DIP Switches” on page 154 for details on standard serial interface DIP switch settings.
