Selecting The Right Location - Epson LQ-800 User Manual

Now that you've installed the paper feed knob, use it to remove the
sheet of paper wrapped around the printer's platen (the black roller).

Selecting the Right Location

2
The most important consideration in choosing a location for
your printer is that it be close enough to connect a cable to your com-
puter. But also keep the following tips in mind:
Place the printer or printer stand on a solid and level foundation.
l
Avoid setting it on carpet, chairs, or unstable surfaces.
Use a grounded outlet-one that has three holes to match the power
l
plug on the printer. Don't use an adapter plug.
Avoid using electrical outlets that are controlled by wall switches-
l
if you accidentally turn off a switch, you could wipe out valuable
information and stop your printing.
Keep your printer and computer away from base units for cordless
l
telephones.
Avoid using an outlet on the same circuit breaker with large electri-
l
cal machines or appliances that might disrupt the flow of power to
your printer.
Protect your printer from direct sunlight, and keep it away from
l
excessive heat, moisture, and dust. Make sure it's not too close to a
heater or any other heat source.
