CHAPTER 1

SETTING UP YOUR

PRINTER

Subjects covered in Chapter 1 include-

. Choosing a suitable place for your printer

l Unpacking

l Setting up

LOCATING THE PRINTER

Give some thought to the best place to put the printer. Both

the printer and computer should be used in normal office sur-

roundings. For best performance, we recommend:

l Use the printer on a flat surface.

l Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat-

producing appliances.

l Use it only in temperatures where you are comfortable.

l Avoid locations with dust, grease, or high humidity.

l Supply it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the

same circuit used by large, noise-producing appliances

(such as refrigerators).

l Make sure the line voltage is within 10% of the voltage

specified on the identification plate.

CHECK THE CARTON CONTENTS

Open the carton and check each item in the box against

Figure l-l to make sure that you have everything (there should

be six items).
