1-2. Handling Notes

Before you start setting up your printer, make sure that you have a suitable place in which to locate it. By “a suitable place”, we mean:

•Close to an easily accessible socket-outlet.

•A firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free.

•Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc).

•Away from excessive humidity.

•Away from excessive dust.

•With access to a steady power supply that is not subject to power surges. For example, do not connect the printer to the same circuit as a large, noise- producing appliance such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner.

NOTE: Make sure that the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s identification plate.
