Identifying Printer Parts

First, see that you have all the parts you need. In addition to this

manual, the printer box should contain the items shown in the

illustration below. The paper feed knob is packed into an indentation in

the white foam material.

Identifying Printer Parts

In addition to the items in the box, you need a proper shielded cable to

connect the printer to your computer. Though unlikely, you may also

need an interface board, which is necessary only for those computers

that can’t use the Centronics® parallel interface. Your computer manual

can tell you which cable you need and whether or not you require a

special interface.

Note: If you plan to use a printer stand, make sure it meets the

following requirements:

The stand must support at least

22.4

lb or 10.2 kg (twice the

weight of the printer).

The stand must not tilt the printer more than 15 degrees from

horizontal. With a cut sheet feeder, the stand must keep the

printer level.

If the paper supply is below the printer stand, make sure that

the paper cannot catch on the underside of the stand or on

the stand supports.

lMake sure that the power cord and the interface cable do not

interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure them to a

printer stand support.
