Unpacking the Printer

As you unpack the printer, check that you have all the parts shown

Setting Up the Printer

Unpacking the Printer

After removing the parts, store the packaging materials in case you

ever need to transport your printer.

CAUTION:

There are several different versions of the

printer designed for different electrical standards. The

power supply type is shown on the label on the back of

the printer. If it does not show the correct voltage for

your country, contact your dealer. It is not possible to

adjust the printer for use on another voltage.

Removing the pull tractor

By removing the pull tractor now, you will be prepared to perform

the printer’s self test later. Follow these steps to remove the pull

tractor:

1. Raise the tractor cover to the upright position. Then lift the

cover up and off.

Note: Remove the packaging material inserted between both sides

of the tractor unit and the tractor cover. Be sure to store this

material with the other packaging materials in case you ever need

to transport the printer.
