Use the power switch on the left side of the printer to turn power on and off.
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.
