Preparing to Operate the 1330
11. Snap the ribbon guide onto the print head. The ribbon guide must fit securely on the
ribbon shifter buttons shown in Figure 2-4. Make sure the ribbon is not twisted.
12. Take up the ribbon slack by turning the ribbon advance knob in the direction of the
arrow.
Caution
If the platen gap adjustment is set too close to the paper, the life of the print head will be
reduced and the print head may be damaged.
13. Close the printer cover.
14. Connect the printer to a power source, as explained in the next section.
Connecting the Printer to a Power Source
Avoid connecting the 1330 to a power source shared by devices such as motors or fans
that may cause low fluctuating voltage or that may introduce noise into the power supply.
Unstable voltage can cause the printer to operate erratically.
Uncoil the AC power cord. Plug the socket end of the power cord into the receptacle on
the back of the 1330 (see Figure 2-7), then plug the connector end of the power cord into
the proper AC outlet.
Power Cable Requirements
For operation at 100-120V: The power cable required for domestic units is a UL listed,
CSA certified, 18/3 AWG, type SVT or SJT cable (15-foot [4.6-meter] maximum). It is
terminated on one end by a 125V, 15A grounding type attachment connector. It is
terminated at the other end by a 125V, 15A parallel blade, grounding type attachment
plug.
For operation at 200-240V: The power cable required for domestic units is a UL listed,
CSA certified, 18/3 AWG, type SVT or SJT cable (15-foot [4.6-meter] maximum). It is
terminated on one end by a 250V, 15A grounding type attachment plug body. It is
terminated at the other end by a 250V, 15A tandem blade, grounding type attachment
connector.
The power cable required for international units is an 18/3 AWG, type SJT cable (15-
foot [4.6-meter] maximum). It is terminated on one end by a 250V, 15A grounding type
attachment plug body. It is terminated at the other end by a 250V, 15A grounding type
cord connector. The cord set is marked HAR to signify appropriate safety approvals.
The installation site must provide a properly wired and grounded power outlet. Circuits
connected to air conditioners and devices that generate significant transient electrical
noise should be avoided.
Electrostatic discharge in the vicinity of the unit should be minimized by avoiding high
resistance floor material and carpeting that does not have antistatic properties, avoiding
the use of plastic seats and covers, and avoiding low humidity levels. The unit should be
located away from areas that generate electromagnetic interference (for example,
