Connecting the printer to your computer

Cautions:

1 Power to the printer and computer must be turned off and the

power cables unplugged before connecting or disconnecting the

printer cable. Otherwise damage or malfunction may result.

2 For best results use a high-impedance SCSI cable and an active

terminator.

3 Using other types of cables can cause the printer to

malfunction.

Connect the SCSI cable (1) to the printer and to the computer (2). Secure

the printer cable to the connectors on the printer and on the computer.

Note:

Always attach a terminator (3) to the printer if the printer is the last

peripheral on the SCSI chain.

Checking the SCSI device number

Make sure the device number for the printer is set correctly, the printer

device number is set to 6 at the factory. Each SCSI device connected to

the computer must have a unique SCSI device number. If two devices have

the same device number, they will not work properly.

To change the device number, move the DIP switches (4) next to the

connector. For information on DIP switch settings, refer to ‘Specifications

and Settings’ in Chapter 8.
