SETTING UP

Place the printer in the desired location, and remove all packing material from inside the top cover. This packing material is intended to prevent damage to the printer while in transit. You will want to keep all the packing material, along with the printer carton, in case you have to move the printer to a new location.

Mounting the platen knob

The platen knob is packed into a recess of the white foam packing material

which held your printer inside the carton. Be sure to remove the knob from - the packaging.

Mount the knob on the platen shaft, which is on the right-hand side of the printer. Rotate the knob on the shaft before pushing the knob fully into position.
