To connect a parallel printer to your system, you shall need a printer cable. This type
of cable is supplied with your printer. Connect an end of this cable to the Parallel Port
at the rear of your system.
Check the printer's manual for any driver installation required to maximize its
performance. Then, make sure that you have designated your print destination
properly in your applications program before issuing a print command.
AC Power Cord
Now, get the AC power cord and insert the female end (with holes) into the AC Power
In of the Power Supply at the rear of your system. The other end of the power cord is
plugged into an AC wall outlet. Next, check if the power cords of all other devices
(monitor, printer, etc) are all plugged to the AC wall outlet.
We strongly suggest that you use a multiple-outlet surge protector (sometimes called
a "power strip") so as to prevent damage to your system and its peripherals caused by
electrical surges in the power line. Connect the power of all other devices or
peripherals to this, too. Be sure to have the surge protector plugged to a wall outlet all
to itself.
It is also greatly recommended that your computer and its peripherals be plugged into
a grounded outlet. Do not use any device to convert the three-prong (grounded) plug
of your power cord for use with a two-prong (non-grounded) outlet.
Turning the System On/Off
By now, everything is already connected and you are ready to turn on your PC. Press
Power Button and your computer will boot and automatically enter Windows ME
operating system. The Power On LED of your computer will be lit.
WARNING
Before turning on your system and all other peripherals connected to this, check first if
they are switched to the right AC voltage. Turning the system on with improper voltage setting may
result in severe damages.
If you would like to turn off your system, perform Windows ME shut down operations
first:
