CHAPTER I

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 home 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 four items).

.._ . _. -

igure l- 1. Check to make sure you have all tour items: 1) Printer,

2) Paper separator, 3) Ribbon cartridge, and 4) User’s manual.

n 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 it

absorbs nearly all of the printer’s operating sounds. Don’t take

off the cover unless you have to change the ribbon or make an

adjustment.

To remove the cover, lift up the back of the cover to

disengage the two tabs at the front, then lift it off the rest of the

way. To replace the cover, slide the tabs in at the front and

lower it into place. Figure 1-2 shows the proper position and

movement for both removing and replacing the cover.

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

W Removing the packing tube

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

The printer is shipped with a protective spiral tube to keep

the print head from being damaged during shipping. This tube

must be removed before use. First, take off 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 up-

ward and away from the carriage rail.

n Installing the ribbon cartridge

This printer uses a neat, easy-to-change ribbon cartridge with

automatic threading. To fit or change the ribbon cartridge:

Ggure 1-4. Press the cartridge into place until the holding springs

snap into place. -

1. Turn off the power and remove the printer cover.

2. Slide the print head gently to the center of the printer.

Warning: The print head gets hot during operation, so

let it cool off before you touch it.

3. Set the release lever to either single sheet (a) or

sprocket-feed paper (P).
