INTRODUCTION

The following section covers the unpacking and installation of your printer, together with information on paper loading and handling (both continuous and cut-sheet paper).

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 (ie away from direct sunlight and away from heaters, etc)

•Away from excessive humidity

•Away from excessive dust

•A location with sufficient space to locate the printer and any paper to be 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).

UNPACKING, SETTING UP AND CONNECTION

Now unpack the contents of the printer shipping container, and make sure that you have the following:

•The printer itself

9 Paper guide assembly

•The platen knob

•A fabric ribbon

If any of these items are missing, contact your supplier.
