WARNING:
Before you use the optional interface board, be
sure to disconnect the printer cable from the printer’s built-in
parallel or serial interface. Two interface cables must not be
installed at the same time.
7.
Before you use the interface board, be sure to use SelecType to
set the INTERFACE option to Parallel. (For details, see the
CHANGE DEFAULTS section in Chapter 3.) This is necessary
even if the optional interface is serial, because the board uses the
parallel connections. (Serial conversion is performed,
however.)
The Multi-Font Module
The optional Multi-Font Module gives you two additional Letter
Quality fonts for your LQ printer: Orator and Orator-S. See the
manual that comes with the module for further information.
Installation
Before installing the Multi-Font Module, make sure that the printer
is turned off. The module can be installed in either Slot A or B.
1.
Remove the font compartment cover by lifting up slightly on
the lip of the cover.
