The OPC belt cartridge is packed inside a separate box as a starter kit. Wait to unpack the OPC belt cartridge until immediately before you put it in the printer. Exposure to direct sunlight or room light may damage the OPC belt cartridge. We recommend keeping spares of the following consumable items at all times. When these are exhausted, the printer may stop printing. ■Toner cartridges (TN-04BK, TN-04C, TN-04M, TN-04Y) ■Waste toner pack (WT-4CL) ■OPC belt cartridge (OP-4CL) Interface cable ■An interface cable is not a standard accessory. ■Some computers have a USB and a parallel port. Please buy the appropriate cable for the interface you are going to to use. ■Most parallel cables support bi-directional communication, but some might have an incompatible pin assignment or may not be IEEE 1284 compliant. ■It is recommended to use a parallel interface cable or USB interface cable that is no longer than 6 feet (2 meters). ■When you use a USB cable, make sure it is a high-speed twisted cable (12 Mbps or 480 Mbps), and that you connect it to the USB connector of your PC. ■Please make sure that you use a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified cable if your computer uses a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface. ■Do not connect the USB cable to a non-powered hub or Mac ® Keyboard. Depending on the country where you bought the printer, the power cord may differ slightly from the one shown in Figure 1-1.
