PRINTER PLACEMENT
Before you start setting up
your printer, make sure that you have a suitable
place on which to locate it. By "a suitable place", we mean:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
A firm, level
surface
which is fairly vibration-free
Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc)
Away from excessive humidity
Away from excessive dust
A steady power supply that is not subject to power surges should be
connected to the printer. For example, do not connect it to the same circuit
as a large, noise-producing appliance such as a refrigerator or an air
conditioner.
Make sure the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer's
identification plate.
Install the printer where there is sufficient room for the fanfold paper stack
and any paper being fed in or printed out.
If you are connecting your printer with a parallel interface, make sure that
the cable is within 2m (6ft) of the printer. An RS-232 connection using the
optional SPC-8K interface converter can be made over longer distances.
