A power cord is packed with the printer. Plug the female end of the
cord into the recessed connector at the rear of the printer. See Figure
2-11. Plug the other end into a compatible, properly grounded AC
outlet.
The AC outlet must be rated for at least 10-ampere service.
Avoid using AC circuits serving other equipment which may cause
chronic low voltage, noise interference, or power fluctuations. Data
loss may result.
Both a 25-pin RS-232C serial interface connector and a 36-pin
CENTRONICS parallel interface connector are standard on this
printer. Both connectors are located on the data connector plate on
the rear of the printer. See Figure 2-11.
