How To / Installing Options

Interface Cards

Your printer comes with a Type B interface slot. Various optional interface cards are available to expand your printer's interface options.

Follow these steps to install an optional interface card.

Caution:

Before you install the interface card, be sure to discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded piece of metal. Otherwise, you may damage static-sensitive components.

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord.

Be sure to set any switches and jumpers on the card, as necessary. See the interface card's manual for details.

Remove the screws and the cover as shown below.

Warning:

Removing other screws and covers will expose high voltage areas.

Note:

Keep the slot cover in a safe place. You will need to reattach it if you remove the interface card later.

Slide and push the interface card into the slot firmly, then fasten the screw as shown below.

Plug the printer's power cord into an electrical outlet.

Turn on the printer.

To confirm that the option is installed correctly, print a status sheet. See Printing a Status Sheet.

Removing an interface card

Perform the installation procedure in reverse.
