Connecting to Your Computer
Your printer has parallel interface port, which allows you to use it
with IBM PCs and compatible computers. You have to purchase a
Centronics compatible parallel interface cable that supports bi-
directional communications (IEEE standard 1284). Ask your dealer for
assistance if you need help selecting the right cable.
Your printer also has Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. The Universal
Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer to be connected to
multiple peripheral devices. If your PC has USB port, you can connect
your printer to your PC by using USB interface.
Using Parallel Port
1. Plug the parallel interface cable into the connector on the back of
the printer. Push the clips at each end of the connector into the
notches on the printer cable. The clips snap when pushed into the
notches.
2. Attach the other end of the parallel cable to your computer.
Note: Make sure the printer power is off when you connect it to the
computer.

Selecting Paper Types and Feed Source
One of the most important things you can do to assure the best
possible print quality from your printer is to select the correct paper.
Your printer produces letter quality output on most plain bond
papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not
require special papers. However, the print quality varies with
different paper types. Be sure to test a small quantity of paper before
you purchase a large quantity.
You can print on any of the following paper types:

Paper Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media,
keep these guidelines in mind:
¥ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can
cause paper jams and poor print quality.
¥ Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.
¥ Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with
embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or
too rough.
¥ Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printerÕs fusing
temperature of 392 oF (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration.
Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the
paper was produced.
¥ Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-
resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subject to the printerÕs approximately 392 oF (200
oC) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
¥ Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on
pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on
top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it
away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle
or curl.
¥ During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you
should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams occur frequently, make
sure you are following these tips to avoid jams.
¥ Follow the procedures in ÒLoading a Stack of PaperÓ on page 6 to load
paper properly.

automatic feeder. If jams do occur using the automatic feeder, try
feeding one sheet at a time in the manual feeder.
¥ Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
¥ Do not mix paper types in the automatic feeder.
¥ Use only recommended print materials.
¥ Make sure the recommended print side is face up when loading the
feeders.
¥ Keep print materials stored in an acceptable environment.

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
¥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
¥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
¥Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
¥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless specified in the manual.
If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of
the equipment.
Use of shielded cable is required to comply with Class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of
FCC Rules.
Canadian Radio Interference Regulations
