Choosing a place for the printer
Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to
think about where you plan to use it. Remember the following points
when doing this.
✓Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to
vibration.
✓The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby
and unobstructed.
✓Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for
you to connect the two.
✓Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
✓Makesurethattheprinteriswellawayfromheatersandothersources
of extreme heat.
✓Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
✓Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It
should not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or
other appliances that cause power spikes.
✓Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too
humid.

Connecting the Interface Cable
Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the interface cable, make sure that
power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is
turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from
the AC outlet.
(1)Connect the interface cable to the connector on the rear panel of the printer.
(2)In the case of a serial interface, tighten the connector screws. In the case of a
parallel interface, fasten the connector clasps.

Connecting to a Peripheral Unit
You can connect a peripheral unit to the printer using a modular plug. The
followingdescribeshowtoinstalltheferritecoreandmaketheactualconnection.
See “Modular plug”on page 96 for details about the type of modular plug that is
required. Note that this printer does not come with a modular plug or wire, so it
is up to you to obtain one that suits your needs.
Important!
MakesurethattheprinteristurnedoffandunpluggedfromtheACoutlet
and that the computer is turned off before making connections.
(1)Connect the peripheral drive cable to the connector on the rear panel of the
printer.
Important!
Do not connect a telephone line into the peripheral drive connector.
Failure to observe this may result in damage to the printer.
Also, for safety purposes, do not connect wiring to the external drive
connector if there is a chance it may carry peripheral voltage.
(2) Connect the ground wire. (Europe only)
Take out the screw shown in the figure below, then fasten the ground wire
terminal to the place where the screw was removed and tighten the screw.
Europe only
