LOCATING THE PRINTER
Before you start unpacking and 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
l
Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc)
l
Away from excessive humidity
l
Away from excessive dust
l
Supply it "clean" electricity. Don't connect it to the same circuit as a large,
noise-producing appliance such as a refrigerator.
l
Make sure the line voltage is within 10% of the voltage specified on the
identification plate.
l
A location with sufficient space to locate the printer and any paper to he
fed into it, as well as the printed paper coming out.
l
If you are using a parallel connection to your computer, make sure that it
is within 2m (6ft) of the printer (an RS-232 connection using the optional
RS-232 interface can be made over longer distances).
