Chapter 1: Printer Setup

This chapter contains important information on setting up your printer. Be sure

to read this chapter carefully before using the printer for the first time. In this

chapter you will learn about:

❏Choosing a place for the printer

❏Unpacking and setting up the printer

❏Installing the ribbon cassette

❏Loading paper

❏Connecting to your computer

Choosing a place for the printer

Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think

about where you plan to use it. Remember the following points when doing this.

✓Choose a ﬁrm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to

vibration.

✓The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby and

unobstructed.

✓Make sure that the printer is close enough to your computer for you to

connect the two with your printer cable.

✓Allow six inches (15 centimeters) of free space on either side of the printer.

If you are going to use fanfold paper, make sure that there is adequate space

for paper behind the printer.

✓Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.

✓Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters.

✓Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.

✓Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It should

not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or other

appliances that cause power spikes.

✓Use a power outlet that matches the power rating noted on the label afﬁxed

to the bottom of your printer.

✓Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.

2Printer Setup

Unpacking the printer

Check to make sure that the carton contains each of the items shown in the

following illustration.

If anything is missing, contact the store where you bought the printer and ask

them to supply the missing part.

A serial-to-parallel interface converter (SPC-8K) is also available as an option.

Consult with your dealer for details.

Note:

It is a good idea to keep the original box and all the packing materials just in

case you later need to pack the printer up again and send it somewhere at a

later date.

corresponding flat surface inside the knob’s spindle. Press the knob

carefully but firmly into place as far as it will go.
