To attach a printer to the PowerWave:
• Power off the printer and place it in a location adjacent to the
PowerWave.
• Attach one end of the parallel cable to the printer's parallel port.
• Attach the other end of the cable to the reader’s Parallel Port,
located on the instrument’s rear panel.
• Make sure the securing screws on both ends of the cable are
tightened, and power up the reader and printer.
iii IMPORTANT: To avoid system instability, connect the printer to the
reader before powering up the reader. Turn on the PowerWave first, then the
printer.
