First you establish contact between the AX-3 Cobra+ and the PC type
printer. Checking that the printer is ready for use and that the printer
cable matches the printer connector (parallel or serial).
An optional external power supply may be required, if the printer is
unable to supply the AX-3 Cobra+.
We recommend that you mount the AX-3 Cobra+ to the side of your
printer using the self-adhesive Velcro ribbons.

(green) will flash for a few seconds.
If the POWER indicator is not lit, the printer is unable to supply
power to the AX-3 Cobra+. Connect an external power supply to the
AX-3 Cobra+.
