STEP Connecting the Printer to the Computer There are various ways of connecting the printer to the computer, such as through the parallel interface connector, serial interface connector, or through the option network interface card. The FS-1800N/FS-3800N have a network interface card already installed at the factory.
Clip Parallel Printer Cable Serial Interface Connection Serial Interface Cable Plug one end of the printer cable (not included) into the parallel interface con- nector on the rear of the printer. • Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standards.
This section describes the procedure for connecting the power cord and various cau- tions. Notes on Power Supply • Install the printer near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone. • Only use this printer with the supply voltage indicated on the serial number label attached to the printer’s rear panel.
When loading other sizes into the cassette, the size must be input into the printer on the operator panel (Refer to the User’s Man- ual [PDF file] provided on the CD-ROM). Standard size paper settings are indi- cated as fixed positions in the cassette.

MP (Multi Purpose) tray MP Tray Paper Guides Load Limit Pull the MP tray towards you until it stops. Pull out the subtray. Adjust the position of the paper guides on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes are attached to the MP tray. For stan- dard paper sizes, slide the guides to the position marked correspondingly.
Envelopes Envelopes should be fed in the face-up position, right edge first. • Test a sample envelope on the printer and check that printing quality is satisfactory before purchasing. • To avoid trouble, we recommend that envelopes be delivered face-up using the option face-up output tray.
Installing the Option Face-up Output Tray Use the face-up output tray when you wish paper to be stacked with the printed side facing up (reverse order), or when you are printing on envelopes, postcards, transparencies, or thick paper. This face-up output tray is a separate option. Legal Size A4 Size Letter Size...

Correcting a Paper Jam If a paper jam occurs while you are printing, remove the jammed paper as described below. After you have removed the jammed paper, open and close the top cover or the paper feed unit. When pulling the paper, pull it gently so as not to tear it. Torn pieces of paper are difficult to remove and may be easily overlooked, deterring the jam recovery.
