A.CHOOSING A GOOD LOCATION
•Place the printer in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
•Do not place the printer near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
•Allow for adequate clearance in front of the printer to accommodate the labels coming out of the printer.
•Find a solid, flat surface with adequate room for the printer. Make sure there is enough room to open the side access door to change ribbons and media.
•The location should be as close as possible to your PC or terminal. Consider the distance between host and printer for the communication cable (serial or parallel cable).
Especially for parallel cable connections, it is important to keep the cable as short as possible.
•Be sure to connect the power cord to a properly grounded power receptacle.
B.UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
To unpack your printer:
•The container should stay right side up.
•Lift the printer out of the box carefully.
•Remove any accessory items.
•Set the printer on a solid, flat surface.
