Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential

area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct

the interference at his own expense.

For compliance with the Federal Noise Interference Standard, this equipment requires a

shielded cable.

This statement will be applied only for the printers marketed in U.S.A.

Statement of

The Canadian Department of Communications

Radio Interference Regulations

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from

digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department

of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites

applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le

brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

The above statement applies only to printers marketed in Canada.

1. Unpacking and inspection

1-1. Unpacking

CheckeachitemintheboxagainstFig.1-1tomakesurethatyouhaveeverything.

If any of these items are missing, contact your supplier.

*1 The Ferrite core is included only with printers marketed in Europe.

Two are parallel interface models and one is serial interface model.

*2 A fastener is included only with printers marketed in Europe.

1-2. Handling Notes

Before you start setting up your printer, make sure that you have a suitable place

in which to locate it. By “a suitable place”, we mean:

•Close to an easily accessible socket-outlet.

•A firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free.

•Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc).

•Away from excessive humidity.

•Away from excessive dust.

•With access to a steady power supply that is not subject to power surges. For

example, do not connect the printer to the same circuit as a large, noise-

producing appliance such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner.

NOTE: Make sure that the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s

identification plate.

Pass fastener through ferrite core.

Pass fastener around cable and lock it.

Cut off excess with scissors.

■Ferritecoreispackedsoitisopen,as

shown in Fig. 3-2. If you find that a

object to pry the plastic lock of the

ferrite core apart (Fig. 3-1). When

you do this, take care not to damage

the ferrite core or the plastic lock.

nector. (Be sure that the cable is

oriented correctly before inserting

it.)

3Fasten the right and left screws to

fix them in place on the connector.

4Connect the other end of the inter-

face cable to your computer.

NOTE: The data transfer conditions between the computer and the printer must

be made compatible with the DIP switch settings on the printer. (Refer

to “APPENDIX”.)
