Safety Your OKI printer has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer: • Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference. • Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer itself. • Unplug the printer before you clean it.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately. • If you’re using an extension cord or power strip with the printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s rating. Generally, the total ratings of all equipment plugged into any one power line should not exceed 15 amperes.

Plug the interface cable into the parallel port and secure it with the wire loops. 3. Close the port access cover, and attach the other end of the cable to the computer and secure it with the screws.
Connecting the Serial Port The serial port is a standard RS-232C, 25-pin port, with selectable baud rates of up to 38.4 Kbps. It requires a shielded RS-232C cable which is UL and CSA approved and no more than 50 feet (15 m) in length. 1. Open the port access cover and plug the interface cable into the serial port. 2. Secure the cable with the screws and close the port access cover. 3. Attach the other end of the cable to the computer and secure it with the screws.
Connecting the Ethernet® Port (for Pacemark 4410 with Print Server Pre-Installed) The installed print server is EtherNet 10/100BaseT. The Ethernet port requires a cable with two twisted-wire pairs and an RJ45 plug for connection to the network. See the OkiLAN 6100e User’s Manual included with your printer for additional information. 1. Open the port access cover. 2. Plug one end of the short cable included with the printer into the network board and the other end of the cable into the parallel port.
