Getting Started 1-3
Connecting the Power Cable
The power supply automatically switches between 115V or 230V. No operator settings
are required.
1. Plug the power cable into the connection located on the back of the printer. Plug the
cable into a grounded electrical outlet.
Note: Only use a certified power cable with proper voltage for the country of
installation. In facilities with power spikes/outages, we recommend using a
certified surge protector with proper voltage for the country of installation.
2. Turn on the printer. Press
( I ) to turn on and ( O ) to turn off the printer.
Establishing Communications
Before you print, make sure supply is loaded, the printer is connected to a host (a PC or
a network) and is ready to receive data.
The printer can establish communications using the serial port, device USB port, Ethernet
port, or wirelessly (optional). Before the printer can accept print jobs from the host, you
must:
♦ connect the communication cable between the printer and host or connect wirelessly.
♦ set the communication values on the printer to match those at the host (System
Administrator only).
Ask your System Administrator which communication method to use.
For Serial Communications:
Secure the serial cable with the connecting screws. Make sure the printer's
communication values match those at the host. The printer’s default values are 9600
Baud, 8 bit data frame, 1 stop bit, no parity, and DTR flow control.
For USB Communications:
The printer has three USB 2.0 ports. Drivers are available on our Web site.
