Attaching The Paper Support; Connecting The Printer - Epson STYLUS COLOR 480 Setup Manual

Attaching the Paper Support

Insert the paper support into the slots at the rear of the printer and place the
printer on a flat, stable surface. Leave enough space in front of the printer
for paper to be ejected smoothly.

Connecting the Printer

Your printer connects to your computer via a shielded, twisted-pair parallel
interface. Make sure that the parallel cable supports bidirectional
communication. Otherwise, the printer will not work. Depending upon
your geographic location, you may need to obtain the appropriate cable.
See "Options and Consumable Products" in the Daily Use guide for details.
Follow these steps to connect the printer to your PC.
1. Make sure that the computer is turned off, and the printer's power cord
is unplugged.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the
printer's interface connector. Then
squeeze the wire clips together until they
lock in place on both sides. If your cable
has a ground wire, connect it to the
ground connector below the interface
connector.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer's parallel interface. If
there is a ground wire at the computer end of the cable, connect it to the
ground connector at the back of the computer.
