4. Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
To
connect
your
printer
to
your Commodore computer, please follow the
instructions in the order listed below.
a. Make sure
trat
both
your
computer and printer have their power
turned
OFF.
b. Connect one
end
of
the 6·pin DIN cable to the connector holes
located in the back
of
your
printer at the lower left. This cable
is
"keyed"
so
that
you
cannot plug the cable in the wrong way. This
means
that
the pins should be positioned so
that
a slight pressure
will seat the cable properly. Do not force these pins in, doing so
could damage
your
cable.
c.
Connect the
other
end
of
the cable to your computer in the Serial
Port Connector located in the back
of
your computer. Make sure
that
you
are
"keying"
the pins properly into the connector with 6
holes.
d. Now plug the printer's power cord into a standard
AC
wall outlet.
However, please
do
NOT turn the equipment on yet.

If
this
doesn't
happen,

b.
If
the
print
head does
not
move
as
described above, check
to

if
the connecting cable
is
properly plugged in. After checking all con-
