3-6.  Connecting to a Peripheral Unit

You can connect a peripheral unit to the printer using a modular plug. See “Modular plug” on 

page 53 for details about the type of modular plug that is required. Note that this printer does 

not come with a modular plug or wire, so it is up to you to obtain one that suits your needs.

CAUTION

Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet and that the computer 

is turned off before making connections.

(1)  Connect the peripheral drive cable to the connector on the rear panel of the printer.

CAUTION

Do not connect a telephone line into the peripheral drive connector. Failure to observe this may 

result in damage to the printer.

Also, for safety purposes, do not connect wiring to the external drive connector if there is a 

chance it may carry peripheral voltage.
