PRINTER
Subjects we'll cover in Chapter 1 include-
. Choosing a suitable place for your printer;
l
Unpacking your new printer;
l
Setting it up.
WHERE SHALL WE PUT IT?
Before you do anything
else, give some thought
to where
you'll be using your printer.
Obviously,
it will be somewhere
near your computer.
And both printer and computer
will lead
longer, healthier
lives if they like their surroundings.
For in-
stance, we recommend..
.
,
l
Using the printer on a flat surface.
l
Keeping it out of direct sunlight
and away from heat-
producing
units.
l
Using it only in temperatures
where you are comfortable.
l
Avoiding areas with a lot of dust, grease, or humidity.
l
Giving it "clean" electricity.
Don't connect it to the same
circuit used by large, noise-producing
appliances (such as
refrigerators).
l
The line voltage
should
be the same voltage
that's
specified on the identification
plate - within 10% of the
recommended
voltage.
