Chapter 1: Printer Setup

This chapter contains important information on setting up your printer. Be sure

to read this chapter carefully before using the printer for the first time. In this

chapter you will learn about:

o Choosing a place for the printer

o Unpacking and setting up the printer

o Installing the platen knob

o Installing the ribbon cassette

o Loading paper

o Connecting to your computer

Choosing a place for the printer

Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think

about where you plan to use it. Remember the following points when doing this.

3 Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to

vibration.

3 The power outlet you planto connect to for power should be nearby and

unobstructed.

3 Make sure that the printer is close enough to your computer for you to

connect the two with your printer cable.

3 Allow six inches (15 centimeters) of free space on either side of the printer.

If you are going to use fanfold paper, make sure that there is adequate space

for paper behind the printer.

3 Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.

3 Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters.

3 Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.

3 Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It should

not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or other

appliances that cause power spikes.

3 Use a power outlet that matches the power rating noted on the label affixed

to the bottom of your printer.

3 Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.

2 Printer Setup

Unpacking the printer

Check to make sure that the carton contains each of the items shown in the

following illustration.

If anything is missing, contact the store where you bought the printer and ask

them to supply the missing part. Note that it is a good idea to keep the original

box and all the packing materials just in case you need to pack the printer up

again and send it somewhere at a later date.

Important!

There are several versions of this printer designed for different voltages. It is

not possible to change the voltage of a printer. If the voltage shown on the label

on the bottom of your printer does not match the voltage for your area, contact

your dealer immediately.

General guide 3

General guide

The following illustrations show the major components of your printer.

4 Printer Setup

Opening the front cover

o Lift up on the front cover and swing it open until it stops.

o To close the front cover, simply lower it back into place.

Caution!

The tear assist edge is rather sharp. Take care to avoid injuring your hands.

Note:

You can completely remove the front cover from the printer or you can stand it

up. You should normally leave the front cover closed, because it protects

against objects getting into the printer, and it cuts down on printer noise.

Removing the protective materials

Two small pieces of packing material are inserted into the printer to protect

components during shipping. Be sure to remove them before using the printer.

o Open the rear cover by pushing it back so that the cover swings back and

down.

Removing the protective materials 5

o Remove apieces of packingmaterial from inside the printer as shown in

the illustration.

A piece of cardboard is inserted into the printer to protect components during

shipping. Be sure to remove it before using the printer.

o Open the rear cover.

o Remove the cardboard from the inside of the rear cover as shown in the

illustration.

6 Printer Setup

Installing the platen knob

The platen knob is packed into a recess in the packaging material.

o Install the knob on the shaft located inside the large hole on the left side of

the printer. Make sure that the two splines of the platen shaft inside the

printer fit into the slots inside the knob’s spindle. Press the knob carefully

but firmly into place as far as it will go.

Installing the ribbon cassette

o Make sure the printer is unplugged from its power outlet.

Caution!

Never move the print head while the printer is turned on. Doing so can damage

the printer. If you have just finished printing, let the print head cool for a few

minutes before you touch it.

o Remove the front cover of the printer.

o Remove the ribbon cassette from its package.

Installing the ribbon cassette 7

o Rotate the knob on the ribbon cassette clockwise to take up any slack in the

ribbon.

o Carefully place the cassette onto the mechanism making sure that the

spindle fits into the socket on the bottom of the cassette. Also

make sure that the side tabs fit into the grooves on the sides of the flame.
