LOCATING THE PRINTER

Before you start unpacking and setting up your printer, make sure that you have a suitable place on which to locate it. By “a suitable place”, we mean:

. A firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free

•Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc)

•Away from excessive humidity

•Away from excessive dust

•Supply it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the same circuit as a large,

L

noise-producing appliance such as a refrigerator.

i	• Make sure the line voltage is within 10% of the voltage specified on the
	identification plate.
	• A location with sufficient space to locate the printer and any paper to he
	fed into it, as well as the printed paper coming out.
	• If you are using a parallel connection to your computer, make sure that it
	is within 2m (6ft) of the printer (an RS-232 connection using the optional
	RS-232 interface can be made over longer distances).
