Installing The Printer; Installing The Paper Basket - Texas Instruments 880 User Manual

2.2 INSTALLING THE PRINTER
With all components unpacked and accounted
for, follow these steps to prepare the printer for
operation.
1. Set the printer on a level surface that is
able to safely support 25 kg (55 Ib). If the
printer is put on a metal surface, the metal
must be grounded to prevent electrical
interference. Be sure that the weight of
the printer is not pressing on the back
paper chute.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct the air intake and
exhaust vents on the sides of the
printer; damage to the printer from
heat can occur. Figure 2-2 shows
the printer dimensions.
2. If you ordered the optional Texas
Instruments printer stand (TI part number
999841-0001), fasten the printer to the
stand according to the assembly instruc-
tions provided with the stand.
3. If you ordered the optional Texas
Instruments stand-mounted paper basket
kit
(TI
part number 999839-0001), mount
the paper basket on the printer stand
according to the assembly instructions
provided with the paper basket kit.
