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:
l
The stand must support at least
22.4
lb or 10.2 kg (twice the
weight of the printer).
l
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.
l
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.
l Make sure that the power cord and the interface cable do not
interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure them to a
printer stand support.
