use for an extended period, always remove the wall

transformer from the electrical outlet. Failure to do so

may overheat the unit and damage the transformer.

HOW TO USE THE GRAPPLER 9 PIN

To use the Grappler 9 Pin takes only three easy steps. The

first step is getting to know your software library to find out how

many programs support your printer specifically, and how many

support the ImageWriter. The second step is making certain

that any programs providing printer selection have been in-

stalled, or selected within the program, correctly. (Printer instal-

lation is fully discussed under STEP2.) Lastly; having checked

your software and verified the printer installation, you must set

the Grappler 9 Pin DIP switch
