1.4 Choosing a Place for the Printer
When selecting a place to set up your printer, choose a convenient location that provides
the following:
1. A flat, stable surface.
2. Adequate room around the printer to allow easy operation and maintenance. Make sure
it’s close enough to the computer for the printer cable to reach, and be sure you can
easily unplug the power cord.
3. Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area and protect your printer from
direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dusty.
4. Appropriate power source. Make sure you use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter
plug. Avoid electrical outlets controlled by timers or wall switches; an interruption in
power can wipe out the information in your computer or printer memory.
If you place the printer on a stand, follow these guidelines:
1. Use a stand that supports at least 9 kg (19 lb).
2. Never use a stand which is slant. Always keep it level.
3. Provide enough clearance below the stand and between the printer rack and the legs of
the rack so the tractor paper flows smoothly.
4. Place cables so they do not interfere with paper feeding; secure them to a leg of the
stand if possible.
1.5 Installing the Ribbon Cartridge
1. Before installing the ribbon cartridge, make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Open the window. (As shown below)
