2. Snap the
two
wire
clips
onto
the plug.
3.
Insert the other end
of
the cable into
your
computer. You may
also connect
it
to'another
peripheral device, such
as
a disk
drive,
if
your
equipment
is
designed for
"daisy-chain"
connection.

4. Turn on the
equipment
and try the one-line program shown
below, using the proper print statement
for
your
computer (the
example
uses
LPRINT). (Make sure you have paper and ribbon
in the printer.)
5.
Type: LPRINT "Everything's
okay"
and then run the program.
6.
Your printer should print "Everything's
okay"
at 10 characters
per inch.
NOTE: If the printer did not print, make sure you entered the program properly. Some
computers require that you assign
a number
to
the printer and specify that number in
your print statement; for example
OPEN
# 3 means the printer
is
on
line # 3
to
the
computer.

Now
try this program (change it,
if
necessary, to suit
your
com-
puter's requirements):
