.Settingup

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 sur-

roundings. For best performance, we recommend:

●

Use the printer on aflat surface.

Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat-

producing appliances.

Use it only in temperatures where you are comfortable.

Avoid locations with dust, grease, or high humidity.

Supply it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the

same circuit used by large, noise-producing appliances

(such as refrigerators).

Make sure the line voltage is within 10?ZOof the voltage

specified on the identification plate.

CHECK THE CARTON CONTENTS

Open the carton and check each item in the box against

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

be four items).

-–—

Figure 1-1. Checkto makesureyouhaveallfouritems:1)printer,

2)paperguide, 3) ribbon cartridge,and 4)User’smanual.

You should also have aparallel interface board to connect

your computer to the printer. Also available are aparallel inter-

face board with extra buffer memory and aserial interface

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

■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 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.
