COMMAND SUMMARY 136

Chapter 1

SETTING UP THE PRINTER

Subjects covered in Chapter 1 include -

l Locating the printer

l Unpacking and inspection (part names)

l Setting up and connecting

l Loading single sheets

l Loading and parking fanfold forms

l Adjusting the printing gap

LOCATING THE PRINTER

Before you start unpacking and setting up your printer, make sure that you

have a suitable place on which to locate it. By “a suitable place”, we mean:

l A firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free

l Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc)

l Away from excessive humidity

l Away from excessive dust

l Supply it with “clean” electricity. Do not connect it to the same circuit as

a large, noise-producing appliance such as a refrigerator.

l Make sure the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s

identification plate.

l To disconnect the printer the plug has to be disconnected from the wall

socket, which has to be located close to the printer, and easy to access.

l Install the printer where there is sufficient room for the paper and any

paper being fed in or printed out.

l If you are connecting your printer with aparallel cable, make sure that the

cable is within 2m (6ft) of the printer. An RS-232 connection using the

optional SPC-8K interface can be made over longer distances.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Checking the carton contents

Now unpack the contents of the shipping carton, and check each item in the

box against Figure l- 1to make sure that you have everything (there should

be six items).

If any of these items are missing, contact your supplier.
