CHAPTER 1

SETTING UP YOUR

PRINTER

Subjects covered in Chapter 1 include -

l 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

surroundings. 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- 1to make sure that you have everything (there should

be five items).

You should also have a parallel interface board co connect

your computer to the printer. Also available are a parallel

interface board with extra buffer memory and a serial interface

board, both optional. (More on interfaces later.)

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

2) Mute cover, 3) Paper guide, 4) Ribbon cartridge and 5) User’s

manual.

H 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 or three 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.

H Removing the packing tube

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

upward and away from the carriage rail.

Figure 1-3. Remove the protective tube 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 car-

tridge:

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

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

Wuvning: 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 or sprock-

et-feed paper.

4. With the ribbon facing away from you, use the guide

holders as a fulcrum and lightly press the cartridge down

until the two holder springs snap shut to hold the

cartridge firmly in place. See Figure l-4.

5. Check that the cartridge fits so that the drive pins

engage the cartridge teeth, by turning the ribbon ad-

vance knob.

6. Gently slide the print head carriage manually all the

way to your right or left until the ribbon automatically

slips down into its proper place between the print head

and the silver ribbon guide.

7. Replace the printer cover. (A switch on the printer

prevents the printer from operating when the cover is

off.)

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

into place.
