Setting Up the Printer

This chapter describes how to unpack and set up your printer.

Unpacking the Printer

Make sure you have the following items.

Ribbon cartridge

Paper guide

Printer

 

Power cord

Printer software

Follow the directions on the Notice Sheet to remove the protective materials before you turn on the printer. Save all packing and protective materials in case you need to ship the printer in the future.

Choosing a Place for the Printer

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or placed at an angle.

Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture or dust.

Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the power cord. Position the power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with paper feeding.

Note for French-speaking users:

Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.
