Setting up

Place your printer in the position where it is going to be permanently sited, and remove all packing material from inside the top cover. This packing material is intended to prevent damage to the printer in transit. You may like to keep this packing with the printer carton if you intend transporting the printer for use at a different location.

laten knob

The platen knob should be removed from the accessory box inside the shipping carton. Mount the platen knob on the shaft on the right-hand side of the printer. Turn the knob on the shaft before pushing the knob fully into position.

NOTE

Before turning the platen knob, always ensure that the power to the printer is OFF. Turning the platen knob when the power is on can damage the printer’s gears.
