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

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

. Away from excessive humidity

. Away’from excessive dust

. A“steady power supply that is not subject to power surges should be connected to the printer.

For example. do not connect the printer to the same circuit as a large, noise- producing appliance such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner.

●Make sure the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s identification plate.

✎If you are connecting your printer with a parallel interface, make sure that the cable is within 2m (6ft) of the printer. An RS-232 connection using the optional IS-8XL interface cartridge can be made over longer distances.
