CHAPTER 1

SETTING UP YOUR

PRINTER

Subjects we’ll cover in Chapter 1 include

• Choosing a suitable place for your printer;

• Unpacking your new printer;

• Setting it up.

WHERE SHALL WE PUT IT?

Before you do anything else, give some thought to where you’ll be using your

printer. Obviously, it will be somewhere near your computer. And both printer

andcomputer will lead longer, healthier lives if they like their surroundings. For

instance, we recommend...

•Using the printer on a flat surface.

• Keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat-producing appliances.

•Using it only in temperatures where you are comfortable.

•Avoiding areas with a lot of dust, grease, or humidity.

•Giving it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the same circuit used by

large, noise-producing appliances (such as refrigerators).

•The line voltage should be within 10% of the voltage specified on the

identification plate.

WHAT HAVE WE HERE?

Now let’s take a look at what’s in the carton. Open it up and check each item in the

box against Figure 1-1. There should be four items.

Figure 1-1. Check to make sure you have all four items: 1) printer, 2) paper

guide, 3) ribbon cartridge, and 4) user’s manual.

In addition to your printer, you also need an Interface cartridge that connects

your computer to this printer.

These are sold separately because each brand of computer uses a different inter-

face cartridge.

Removing the printer cover

The printer’s cover is important for two reasons

it keeps dust and dirt away

from the printer’s delicate mechanism, and absorbs nearly all of the printer’s

operating noise. Don’t take off the cover except when you have to change the

ribbon, or to make an adjustment.

Removing the printer cover is easy. Lift up the back of the cover to disengage the

two tabs at the front and then lift it off the rest of teh way. To replace it, just slide

the tabs in at the front and lower it into place. Figure 1-2 shows the proper posi-

tion and movement for both removing and replacing the cover.

Figure 1-2. Remove the printer cover by lifting carefully.

Removing the packing tube

The printer is shipped with a protective spiral tube to keep the print head from

being damaged in transit.

We have to remove this tube. First, remove the printer cover. The protective tube

is split along its bottom side to allow easy removal. Grasp one end of the spiral

tube and firmly pull it upward and away from the carriage rail.

Figure 1-3. Remove the protective tube from the carriage rail.

Up to this point, we’ve been clearing the decks for action, so to speak. Only two

more things left to do before we can start printing

install the ribbon cartridge,

and the interface cartridge.

Installing the ribbon cartridge

This printer uses a neat, easy-to-change ribbon cartridge so you don’t have to

spend a lot of time threading a standard ribbon through the printer and getting

your hands all dirty to boot.

Telling you how to put in a ribbon is like telling you how to tie your shoelaces -

it takes a lot longer to describe it than it does to do it. So, you can just follow the

illustrations if you wish; they’ll tell you all you really need to know.

Or, if you feel better following written instructions, read on.
