To remove the paper guide from the printer, stand it up while gently pulling it towards the front of the printer, Next carefully lift the paper guide straight up.

Adjusting the paper guide position

The paper guide has two positions: raised and lowered. You can use either position for printing.

To lower the paper guide, stand it up while gently pressing towards the back of the printer. Next, lift up slightly until the paper guide stops and then lay it down towards the back of the printer.

To raise the paper guide, slowly stand it up until you feel it slide into a locked position.

Connecting to a power outlet and turning power on and off

Plug the power cord of the printer into a standard power outlet whose voltage matches the power rating noted on the label affixed to the bottom of your printer.

Caution!

If the voltage marked on the bottom of your printer does not match the voltage from the outlet you are using, do not plug in the power cord. Contact your dealer for assistance.

Set the switch on the front of the printer to ON to turn power on, and to OFF to turn power off.

Important!

Whenever you turn off the power, wait for at least five seconds before turning it back on. Otherwise you may damage the printer. We also recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of the this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access.

At this point you may want to perform a test of the printer to make sure it is working properly. See “Testing the printer” on page 46 for details on how to perform tests.
