Setting Up the Printer 7

Chapter 1

Setting Up the Printer

This chapter describes how to unpack and set up your printer.

Unpacking the Printer

Make sure you have the following items.

Follow the directions on the Notice Sheet to remove the protective

materials before you turn on the printer. Save all packing and protective

materials in case you need to ship the printer in the future.

Choosing a Place for the Printer

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate

properly if it is tilted or placed at an angle.

❏Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid changes

in temperature and humidity. Keep it away from direct sunlight,

strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture or dust.

❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the

power cord. Position the power cord and interface cable so they do

not interfere with paper feeding.

Note for French-speaking users:

Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut être

débranchée facilement.

8Setting Up the Printer

❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic

timers. An interruption in power can erase information in the

memory of your printer or computer. Also avoid outlets on the same

circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause voltage

fluctuations.

❏Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.

Assembling the Printer

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged. Then open the

printer cover and pull it up to remove it.

2. Remove the paper tension

unit by pressing up the

tabs on each side and

pulling it up.

3. Use your hand to slide the

print head to the middle of

the printer.

wWarning:

If you have just used the

printer, the print head

may be hot; let it cool

for a few minutes before

touching it.

Setting Up the Printer 9

4. Remove the new ribbon

cartridge from the package.

The black plastic ribbon guide

is held in place on top of the

cartridge with a small tab. To

release it, hold the sides of the

ribbon guide and gently

disconnect it. (Do not remove

the ribbon guide from the

ribbon, however.)

5. Hold the ribbon cartridge by its handle and insert it into the printer

at an angle, as shown below; then press down on both sides of the

cartridge to fit the plastic hooks into the printer slots. You should

hear it click into place.

6. Slide the ribbon

guide into the print

head until it clicks in

place. Be careful not

to twist or crease the

ribbon.

Turn the

ribbon-tightening

knob to help feed the

ribbon into place.

10 Setting Up the Printer

7. Reinstall the paper

tension unit by

lowering it onto the

printer’s mounting

pegs. Then press down

on both ends until it

clicks into place.

8. To replace the printer

cover, insert the front

tabs into the slots on

the printer and lower

the cover into place.

Then push it down

until it clicks.

9. Make sure the top part

of the cover is folded

forward, as shown.

Then attach the paper

guide.

When printing, keep these points in mind:

❏You can use the paper guide only when the tractor is installed in the

front or rear push position.

❏For your safety and for the fastest printing, EPSON recommends

keeping the printer cover closed while printing. Although you can

print with the cover open, printing speed will be slower.
