Keyboard

The keyboard consists of alphanumeric keys similar to a
typewriter, symbols and special character keys, an extended
character set, and function keys. The keyboard is one of your
main methods of communicating with the printer. You can use
the keyboard to make selections, and to enter commands that
control functions such as requesting sample prints, or shutting
down the system.

Mouse

The mouse is another main method of communicating with the
printer.

Display monitor

The 17-inch LCD monitor allows you to interact with the printer
and to monitor its interaction with the various components.
During a print job, printer error messages may display to notify
you of any unexpected conditions.

Diskette drive

The external diskette drive plugs into the back panel of the
processor. Diskettes inserted into a diskette drive are used to
install fonts and to load files to, and back up files from, the
internal disk drive. The diskette drive uses industry standard 3.5
inch, 1.44 MB, double-sided, high-density diskettes.
