Getting Started; Installation - Printek FORMSMASTER 8000SE Operator's Manual

GETTING STARTED

This chapter will use the fewest possible steps to get the first time user up
and running quickly. You will be guided through the following steps:

Installation

Before installation, a suitable site must be chosen. Suitable sites include
offices, computer rooms, and most factory environments. The Printek
FormsMaster printers have been designed to be rugged, heavy duty
printers. As such, they will handle most harsh environments, but should not
be placed in direct sunlight or in areas that will exceed the rated
temperature, humidity, or power requirements.

Once a site has been selected, the printer should be placed on a Printek
Print Stand. The Printek print stand is especially recommended for the
FormsMaster 8003se and is required to meet the low noise rating of the
printer. Of course, another sturdy print stand or table with a slotted top for
feeding paper into the bottom of printer may be used.
The print stand should be located in an area large enough to provide easy
access to both the front of the printer and the rear for accessing printed
output. Unpack t h e printer as described in the "FormsMaster 8000se
Unpacking Instructions" and place the printer on the print stand.
