Installing Your Hardware

EpsonScript for the ActionLaser 1600 comes with two interface

boards: the EpsonScript board and the LocalTalk interface

board.

In a PC environment, you need to install the EpsonScript board

only. In a Macintosh environment, you need to install both the

EpsonScript and LocalTalk interface boards.

If your ActionLaser 1600 is already equipped with EpsonScript

and LocalTalk (if needed), you can skip this chapter.

Removing the controller board

The EpsonScript and LocalTalk interface boards attach to

connectors on the printer’s controller board. Therefore, you

first need to remove the controller board.

Warning:

High voltages are present inside the printer when the power is
on. Do not attempt to remove the controller board unless the

printer is turned off and the power cord is unplugged. Also, do

not touch the contacts on the board because many of the

components

can

be damaged by static electricity.

1. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cable from the

electrical outlet.

2. Remove any optional font cartridges and the lower paper

cassette, if installed.

3. Disconnect all interface cables from the interface connectors.

4. Turn the printer so that its left side is facing you.
