Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.

Make sure the paper path is clear and unobstructed before you print on continuous paper. (See the next section.)

If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:

Use a stand that supports at least the following weight:

15.2kg (33.51 lb) for FX-880

19.2kg (42.33 lb) for FX-1180

Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should always be kept level.

Position your printer’s power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure the cables to a leg of the printer stand.

Positioning the continuous paper supply

Before using continuous paper, make sure you line up your paper supply with the tractor feeder so the paper feeds smoothly into the printer, as shown below.
