GETTING STARTED

This chapter will use the fewest possible steps to get the first time user up and running quickly. You will be guided through the following steps:

∙Finding a suitable location and installing the printer

∙Setting up a host interface if necessary

∙Installing the ribbon cartridge

∙Loading paper

∙Performing a printer self-test

Installation

Before installation, a suitable site must be chosen. Suitable sites include offices, computer rooms, and most factory environments. Printek printers have been designed to be rugged, heavy-duty printers. As such, they will handle most harsh environments, but should not be placed in direct sunlight or in areas that will exceed the rated temperature, humidity, or power requirements. For details, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 92.

Once a site has been selected, the printer should be placed on a countertop, desk or Printek Printstand.

The printstand should be located in an area large enough to provide easy access to both the front of the printer and the rear for accessing printed

output. Unpack the printer as described in the “PrintMaster 850/850si/852si Unpacking Instructions” and place the printer on the printstand or counter top.
