Finding your way around

Chapter 1 contains information on unpacking, setting up, testing, and connecting the printer. Be sure to read and follow these instructions first. Inside the back cover of this manual are illustrations of the printer in which all of the major parts are identified.

Chapters 2 and 3 cover paper handling and general printer operation. This important information is necessary for the day- to-day operation of your printer.

Chapter 4 shows you how to get the most from your printer. It includes advice about using software commands, graphics, and creating your own user-defined characters. Also see Chapter 9 for a useful summary of printer commands.

If the printer does not operate properly or the printed results are not what you expect, see Chapter 7 for troubleshooting problems and solutions.

Other chapters contain information on printer options, general maintenance, and specifications. You will also find a glossary of printer terms, an appendix of character tables, and an index.

At the back of this manual is a handy Quick Reference card with the information you are likely to need most often.
