Epson ActionLaser 1600 - Manual (Page 11)

Use a grounded, three-prong electrical outlet. Do not use an
adapter to fit the three-prong plug into a two-hole outlet.
Avoid using an outlet that is controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers. Accidental disruption of power can wipe
out valuable information in your computer’s or printer’s
memory. Also avoid outlets on the same circuit with large
motors or appliances that might disturb the power supply.

Testing the printer
To test whether the printer is correctly installed, print a status
sheet. The status sheet contains information about the printer,
including the current settings. A sample status sheet is shown
in Chapter 4 in your Reference Guide.
To print a status sheet, you use the buttons on the printer’s
control panel as described in the following procedure. The
control panel, which is located at the front of the printer, allows
you to access printer functions.
