INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

For typical operation, the voltage power transformer is the only required connection. Its
connection port is centrally located on the rear of the printer. Refer to the Introduction unit of this
manual for specific identification if necessary.
The parallel and serial ports are required for sending commands and data from the host to the
printer. Instructions for their use may be found in the Programming manual. Their locations are
also in the rear of the printer.

MEDIA SENSOR CALIBRATION

The media dispenser sensor monitors media presence. When the print media is exhausted, the
sensor signals an error condition. If the sensor incorrectly detects the presence of print media
available for use, the dispenser sensor may require calibration. Perform the applicable steps
below relative to the media type used.
