PRINTER
Subjects we’ll cover in Chapter 1 include-

WHERE SHALL WE PUT IT?
Before you do anything else, give some thought to where you’ll be using your printer. Obviously, it will be somewhere near your computer. And both printer and computer will lead
longer, healthier lives if they like their surroundings. For in- stance, we recommend.. .
,• Using the printer on a flat surface.
• Keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat- producing units.
• Using it only in temperatures where you are comfortable. • Avoiding areas with a lot of dust, grease, or humidity.
• Giving it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the same circuit used by large,
• The line voltage should be the same voltage that’s specified on the identification plate - within 10% of the recommended voltage.
