then prompt you to apply the printer power. Continue to follow the instructions to complete the printer
installation.
The setup utility is designed to assist you in setting up printer communication on a PC running the
Windows operating system. The cabling and parameters for each of these physical printer communication
interfaces are discussed in the following pages to assist you with making configuration setup choices prior

power on at the appropriate time to complete the installation of the printer.
