SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2.1.1 SETTING UP THE PRINTER
Consider the following when setting up the printer:
Locate a solid flat surface with adequate room to set the printer. Make sure the AC adaptor can be located so that the AC power cable can be attached to the printer and an AC power outlet. The location should be near the host or computer terminal. The maximum distance recommended is:
-10 feet for a Parallel interface cable. Make sure it meets IEEE1284 specifications
-18 feet for the optional Serial RS232 Interface
-10 feet for the optional USB interface without hub
-the optional 10baseT Ethernet Interface depends upon the LAN cabling
-Up to 100m for the Wireless LAN, depending on structural conditions
Follow these steps to set up your printer:
1.Make sure the power switch on the Operator Panel is in the OFF (0) position and place the AC adaptor in a safe and secure location.
2.Connect the Input Power connector to the printer. This connector is buttoned and must be turned approximately 3/4 turn clockwise to secure it to the printer.
3.Connect the AC Power Cable to an AC Outlet supply of an appropriate voltage.
4.Connect the interface cable to the host system. If you are using the Parallel Port connection, a parallel IEEE1284 interface cable must be used to realize the high data transfer rate of the printer's parallel port. If another interface is installed, the appropriate cable should be used.
5.Load the label media following the instructions in this section.
6.Configure the printer for label width and operating mode using the instructions in this section.
7.Press the printer power button to the ON (I) position.
8.Print a test label to verify the printer is set up and operating correctly.
