3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
The printer has been packaged in protective foam to help reduce the damage during
shipment. Inspect the shipping container(s) for signs of damage. If damage is evident,
contact the shipping company immediately to file a damage claim.
After the printer is removed from the container(s), verify that all the items on the packing list
are present and in good condition. The picture below (See Figure 3-1) shows a 424 printer,
operator's manual, and optional power cord. Your shipment may contain different items.
The foam and shipping container(s) should be kept and used if the printer is to be shipped
at a later time. Additional shipping materials can be ordered by contacting the Microcom
Corporation Service Department.
