Operator Safety:

This machine is considered a class 1 laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine contains 5milliwatt, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.

The following label is attached on the back side of the machine.

Laser Safety:

The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement or the optical subsystem is required.

Important

Where to Put the Printer

The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental

conditions greatly affect its performance.

WARNING:

• Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible, so that in the event of an emergency, it can be easily unplugged.

• Only connect the machine to the power source described on this sheet.

• Avoid multi-wiring.

• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power

cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than necessary. These actions could damage the cord. A frayed or damaged cord might cause an electrical and fire hazard.

CAUTION:

• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

• Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical or fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulated dust can become an electrical or fire hazard.

• Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, the machine might fall and injure someone.

• If you use the machine in a confined space, confirm there is a continuous air turnover.

Connecting the Printer

Requirements

General

Before using this printer, confirm that all the environmental and electrical requirements have been met. Connect the printer to the host computer using the parallel port, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port, or both.

Confirm that all the cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to attach the printer to the host computer or network are present.

Important

❒ The interface cable is not included in the box. It is your responsibility to pro-

vide an interface cable appropriate for the computer you are using.

❒ This printer comes with network-ready Ethernet capability as standard.

Reference

For more information about using a network, see P.57 “Connecting the Printer to the Network”.

For more information about using the parallel port, see P.60 “Connecting the Printer to the Host Using a Parallel Cable”.

Network cable

The Network Interface Board supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX connections.

You can use the printer in the following network environments:

• Use the appropriate network management software and printer driver.

• Attach the printer to a networked computer set up as a server.

Reference

For more information about configuring the Network Interface Board, see the Operating Instructions for the Network Interface Board included as a PDF file on the CD-ROM.

For more information about resolving network connection problems, see "Troubleshooting" in the Printer Reference included as a PDF file on the CDROM.

Note

❒ Consult your network administrator before connecting the printer to a net-

work.

❒ In a 100BASE-TX environment, be sure to use properly shielded and ground-

ed cable (STP, Category/Type 5) for the connection to the host computer (and/or HUB) in order to meet FCC and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC emission guidelines.

Parallel cable

Connect the printer to the host computer parallel port. A parallel cable to connect the printer to the host computer is not included with this printer.

The printer's parallel interface is a standard bidirectional interface. It requires a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port available on the host computer.

Note

❒ Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

Connecting the Printer to the Network

Follow these steps to connect the printer to the network via its built in network interface.

Confirm that you have the correct network cable.

Turn off the printer.

Loop the network cable twice. The loops should be about 10 cm (4 inch)

from the end of the cable on the end closest to the connector.

Setting Up the Printer

Attach the ferrite core to the loops.
