carton.

the tab on the left side of the imaging cartridge. Pull the

clear seal all the way out with firm, even pressure as shown.

printer. Slide it gently into the opening until it stops.

Gently press down on the printer cover until it clicks shut.

CAUTION:

Never transport the printer with the imaging cartridge

installed.

(up to 150 sheets) into

the paper bin. Make

sure that the paper

guides do not press

the paper too tightly.

Close the paper cover.

Install the paper

stopper into the slot

on top of the paper

cover to match the

size of the paper in

the bin; it stops the

paper as it is fed from

the printer.

Note:

To load single sheets of paper types such as envelopes, transparencies,

heavy paper, or labels, feed sheets one at a time through the standard

paper bin feed slot. See Chapter 2, “Paper Handling,” in your

Reference Guide.

turned off.

Connecting the printer to the

computer

You can connect up to three computers (two for the

ActionLaser 1000) to your printer at the same time. If you are

connecting more than one computer, see “Sharing Your

Printer” in the Reference Guide. To connect a parallel (factory

setting), serial (built-in on the ActionLaser 1500 only), or

optional interface, follow these steps. For information on

optional interface boards, see Chapter 5 in the Reference Guide.

Make sure both the printer and the computer are off.

Connect a properly shielded interface cable to the

appropriate interface connector. Parallel cables should be

the twisted-pair type.

Plug the other end of the cable into your computer.

4. Insert the interface cable into the u-shaped part of one cable

clip. Lift the left side of the printer up slightly. Then hook

the short lip of the clip into the forward slot and push the

bottom of the clip under the printer until it clicks in place.

Repeat this procedure with the second clip and insert it into

the back slot.

If you connect your printer to a serial or optional interface, you my

need to change some of the printer’s settings. See the SelecType

INTERFACE option in Chapter 4 of the

Reference Guide.

Testing the computer-to-printer

connection

To make sure you properly connected your computer to the

printer, follow these steps before you start working with your

software:

Turn on your computer; then turn on your printer.

Bring up a DOS prompt on your computer screen such as:

c:>

If you do not have a C drive, A:> or B:> may appear.

Type DIR and press Enter. The screen shows a directory

listing of the files in the designated drive.

Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard once.

(On some systems you may have to press Shift or Ctrl along

with Print Screen.)

Press

ON LINE

to set your printer off line. Then press the

FEED

button to print the data in the printer’s buffer. The

printer prints what is on your screen.

If nothing prints or the results are not what you expect,

make sure you used the proper cable, that the cable is

connected securely to both the computer and the printer,

and that you used the correct interface.
