Setting Up the Printer, 3.0Installation

Setting Up the Printer

3.0Installation

This section explains how to connect the printer, and load it with media and ribbon.

þNote: When connecting the AC Power Cord or interface cables to the printer, ensure the Power On/Off Switch is in the ‘Off’ position.

ŒPlace the printer on a firm, level surface.

•Turn ‘Off’ the Host Computer and ensure that the Power Switch on the Printer is in the ‘Off’ position.

ŽDepending upon your interfacing requirements, connect the appropriate interface cable between Host Computer and Printer; see Section 3.0.1.

•Connect the AC Power Cord to the receptacle on the back of the Printer, and then plug the AC Power Cord into a properly grounded outlet. (The power supply automatically detects and then adjusts to the applied line voltage; see Section 7.0 for the acceptable voltage ranges.)

+If connecting the printer to a network or USB port, refer to the additional documentation supplied with that option.
