CHAPTER 1

SETTING UP YOUR

PRINTER

Subjects we’ll cover in Chapter 1 include-

. Choosing a suitable place for your printer;

l Unpacking your new printer;

l 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 and computer will lead

longer, healthier lives if they like their surroundings. For in-

stance, we recommend.. .

, l Using the printer on a flat surface.

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

producing units.

l Using it only in temperatures where you are comfortable.

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

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

circuit used by large, noise-producing appliances (such as

refrigerators).

l The line voltage should be the same voltage that’s

specified on the identification plate - within 10% of the

recommended voltage.

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 l-l. There should be

four items.

.. -- -_ _

‘igurel- 1. Check to make sure you have all four items: 1)printer,

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

Let’s move on the next step.

n Removing the printer cover

The cover is important for two reasons - it keeps dust and

dirt away from the printer’s delicate “innards,” and it quiets the

printer’s operation. 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 the 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.

...

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

.I, n 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. See the tube

on the carriage rail (Figure l-3). Pull it off carefully.
