* These parts may actually be used when your
authorised dealer installs the printer interface
on your fax machine. (One of the ferrite cores

interface cable, see below.)
Be sure to save the module and packing materials for
reshipment.
Connecting to your computer
Do not install the printer module on your
OKIOFFICE 120 machine. Only your authorised dealer should perform the installation.
This section explains how to connect the module to
your computer’s parallel printer port. You will need a
bidirectional parallel interface cable.
1.Make sure that both your OKIOFFICE 120 and
PC are turned off.
2.Connect the bidirectional parallel interface cable
to your Printer Controller Module’s interface
port.
3.If your cable does not have a ferrite core already
fitted, install the ferrite core included with the
printer module.
4.Snap the plug’s wire clips onto the interface
cable.
5.Connect the other end of the bi-directional parallel interface cable to your computer’s parallel
port.
6.Please see your computer’s operating instructions
if you need help.
