Up to this point, we've been clearing the decks for action, so
to speak. There are only a couple more things left to do before
we can start printing - install the interface board and the font
cartridge.

Slide the I/F board into the slot.
The parallel interface board that comes with your printer con-
tains all the electronics
that your printer needs to talk to a com-
puter. In addition, there are two optional interface (I/F) boards
that you can order: the serial interface board lets you connect to
a serial (RS-232C) computer port; the other board contains extra
buffer memory for parallel output. All three boards are installed
the same way.
To install or change an I/F board, start by turning the printer
around. Notice the snap-on cover at the left end. Take it off and
you'll see where the board goes.
Fit the I/F board into the side slots and slide it all the way
down (don't force it) by turning
off the power switch. If the
board connector
is seated snugly in its socket, you should be
able to put the cover back on and connect the cable from your
computer-
you're ready to go.
