If you are not sure whether you need an optional interface or would like to know more about interfaces, contact your dealer.

Installing an interface card

Follow these steps to install an optional interface card:

Make sure the printer is turned off. Unplug the printer's power cord and disconnect the interface cable.

Remove the screws securing the shield plate to the back of the printer and remove the plate.

Slide the interface card along the slots on both sides of the interface compartment. Firmly push in the card to make sure the connector at the back of the card is fully inserted into the printer's internal socket. Then replace the screws and tighten them.

Note:

Store the shield plate in a safe place; you will need to reattach it if you remove the interface card later.

To remove the interface card, reverse the steps above.
