Action 4: Connect Your Printer and Computer
You must connect the printer to your computer using an interface cable. A parallel cable is
used for this connection.
Make sure that the power cord is unplugged
before connecting or disconnecting the
interface cable.

Also, make sure that the computer is turned
off.
NOTE
The shape of the power cord varies
according to the country of destination.
Connect the parallel interface cable to the
2
parallel interface port of the printer. ( ① )
Secure the connection with the wire clips.
(②)
Connect the interface cable to the printer
port of the computer.
NOTE
The printer can also operate with an RS-232C/RS-422A serial interface by installing the
optional serial interface board. In some countries it is installed as standard. For more
information, see “CHAPTER 4 OPTIONS” in the User’s Guide.
For the location of your computer’s parallel printer port, see the User’s Guide of your
computer. Next skip to the section “Turning On Your Printer”. After printing a test sample
page, you will then be ready to prepare your computer’s software. For setting up the printer
software, see Software Setup Guide.

Action 5: Plug in and Turn on Your Printer
Plug the power cord into the AC power
1
outlet.
NOTE
This printer has no power switch. The
printer has a sleep mode which allows the
printer to automatically reduce power
consumption when not in use.
Make sure that the READY lamp is ON
after the printer has warmed up (about 60
seconds).

Printing a Test Sample Page
We recommend that you print a test page. Refer to the instructions below.
Depress the TEST (FF/CONT) switch until
1
all lamps are turned ON. The printer starts
printing a test sample page.
The printed page shows the basic control
panel operations.
NOTE
If the printer does not print a test sample page exactly, see “CHAPTER 6 Troubleshooting - Q
& A” of the User’s Guide. If after reviewing the information in the User’s Guide, your printer
still cannot print the test sample page exactly, consult your dealer.

Shipment of the Printer
If for any reason you must ship your Printer, carefully package the
Printer to avoid any damage during transit. It is recommended that you
save and use the original packaging. The Printer should also be
adequately insured with the carrier.
Warning
When shipping the Printer, the DRUM UNIT assembly including the
TONER CARTRIDGE must be removed from the Printer and place it
in the plastic bag. Failure to remove it and place it in the plastic bag
during shipping, will cause severe damage to the Printer and will
VOID THE WARRANTY.

2 Place it in the plastic bag and fold
the plastic bag under the drum
unit.
3 Wrap it in the corrugated
cardboard.
