radiator).

The interface connection for the optional interface is
located at the rear of the printer, on the left side (seen
from the printers front).
It is protected by a cover.

interface cover.
2 Remove the cover. You can now see the interface
socket and two guides (bottom, top) A.

two screw openings are pointing to the right. Slide
the interface module into the guides and push it
carefully into the printer until the connector of the
interface module is properly seated into the socket.
