The power supply automatically switches between 115V or 230V. There are no operator settings required.

the cable into a grounded electrical outlet.

2. Connect the communication cable into the appropriate port.

Secure the cable with the connecting screws (serial) or spring clips (parallel). If you are communicating with the host through the serial port, make sure the printer's communication values match those at the host.
