Unpacking And Assembling Your Printer
In this chapter, we’ll help you to set up your new printer. We’ll show you how to unpack your
printer and its components, as well as suggesting a suitable work location for it. We’ll also show
you how to install the ribbon and the power cable and how to connect the printer to your compu-
ter.
Unpacking The Printer
Lay the box on its side and slide the printer out by grasping the side packaging. As you unpack
your printer, set aside and save the packing materials. They have been specially designed to the
printer and will come in handy in case you ever need to transport it to a different location.
Are All Items Present? Having unpacked the printer and its component parts, check to see that
all the following items are there:
A Printer
B Single sheet guide
C Power cable
D Ribbon cartridge
E Tractor feed unit
F User manual
G Paper feed knob (packaged
separately in box)
Are all Items Undamaged? Examine the printer and all the parts for obvious damage. If there
are any, contact your dealer or delivery agent immediately.
Installing The Paper Feed Knob To install the paper feed knob simply insert the cylinder end of
the knob with the four prongs into the paper knob opening on the right hand side of the printer.
Push the knob in gently until it engages. Then turn it to ensure the platen moves.
Finding A Suitable Location
Before you set up your printer you should think about the best location for it. But there are a few
considerations that can make life with your printer a lot easier:
• Avoid areas subject to excessive heat (direct sunlight for example), humidity, dust or
grease
• Provide a steady source of 220 to 240 volt electricity at 50 Hz
• Choose a flat sturdy surface with enough room for the paper to flow freely into and out of
the printer
• Position the printer so that connecting the power and computer cables will not interfere
with the paper flow
• Do not put any objects on top of the printer, especially while printing as the extra weight
may cause the print head to jam
