CONNECTING THE PRINTER

Choose the right working environment for your printer and for your entire computer system. Avoid places that would expose the components to dust, grease, or extreme temperatures. Lay your printer on a firm, flat surface.

To connect the printer to your computer system, follow these steps:

  1. Turn off all parts of your ATARI Personal Computer System. Remove the diskettes from your disk drives and turn off all the power from your ATARI Personal Computer System.
  2. Plug one end of the black serial input/output (SIO) cable that came with your printer into the peripheral port of your computer or into another peripheral in your system.
  3. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the ports marked SIO on the back panel of the printer.
  4. Make sure the printer is turned off. (The on/off switch is on the right side of the machine.) Then plug the power cord into a wall outlet or a power strip.
