OKIDATA Microline 320 Turbo User Manual

Setting up the Okidata Microline 320 Turbo to work with AutoDealer Plus
Physically Setting up the Printer:
1. First make sure the power switch
is in the “Off” position. Next plug
in the power cable to the back of
the printer, and plug the other
end into the wall. Then plug the
parallel data cable into the
printer. Make sure you plug the
other end of the data cable into
the back of your computer. Make
sure the printer turned off. We
will turn it on in a later step.
2. Move the lever on the right side
of the printer to the middle
position, so it is set to “Top”
feed.
3. Adjust the paper guide to
accept paper in the manual
feed position. The paper guide
should be at a 45 degree angle.
4. Slide the margin bracket on
the left side until it is touching
the notch. This margin
bracket will never need to be
adjusted and should always
remain in this position. Align
the right bracket by placing a
standard sheet of paper in the
printer and sliding it until it
keeps the paper in place
between both brackets
without binding the paper.
