For proper sheetfeeder operation your LA75 printer must have version P2.0 or above firmware. To determine the version of the firmware, perform the following steps: 1. Load paper into the printer. 2. Press and hold the Set-up switch while turning the printer power on. The first line of printout shows the code version of the firmware. 3. If the firmware version is P2.0 or above, install the sheetfeeder. If the firmware is version P1.7, contact your local Digital Service Center and ask for Field Change Order LA75-I001, part number, EQ-01463-01, for operation of the LA75X-SF Single-Tray SheetFeeder with the Serial LA75 printer. If the printer or sheetfeeder is under Warranty or Digital Service Contract, the installation and material will be provided at no cost to you. If the printer and sheetfeeder is out of the Warranty period, and not under Digital Service Contract, the enhanced firmware may be purchased and installed at time and material rates from your local Digital Service Center. We appreciate your selection of Digital Equipment Corporation's LA75 printer and sheetfeeder as part of your systems solution and regret any inconvenience this may cause you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | FCO LA75-I001 | | | | | | | | | |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| | PAGE 3 OF 7 |_|_|_|_|_|_|_| | | _______________________________|_________________________________________ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------- 1.
