Leave the front cover closed during normal operation. The cover keeps out
dust and dirt and reduces the printers operating sounds. Open the cover only
to change the ribbon or make an adjustment.
Installing the paper guide
Follow the procedure below to install the paper guide:
1. Insert the two slots on either side of the paper guide into the two tabs on
the rear cover, as shown in Figure 2-9.
2. Place the paper guide horizontally to use fanfold forms, and vertically to
use single sheets.
Figure 2-9.
Installing the paper guide.
Connecting the interface cable
Connect the printer to your computer using a standard Centronics parallel
interface cable. On a PS/2 or PC/AT-type computer, this means that you use
the 25-pin D-type connector at the computer end, and the Amphenol-type
36-pin connector at the printer end. The configuration of the printers
connector is given in Chapter 11 should you need a cable for connecting to
another computer.
If you need to connect to a serial port, use the optional Serial-Parallel
Converter, SPC-8K.
