Introduction
This chapter covers setting up your new Accel-a-Writer 812 printer.
It includes finding the right location, unpacking the printer, installing
toner and paper, connecting the power cord, printing a start-up page,
and selecting an interface.
Printer Location
Before unpacking your Accel-a-Writer 812, you need to choose a
good location. This area should meet the following guidelines:
•
Be on a level, sturdy surface capable of supporting 43 lbs
(19.4 kg) with the toner and main cassette or 56 lbs (25.4
kg) with the addition of the optional lower cassette
•
Have an area of approximately 24" x 50" (624 mm x 1292
mm) so there is sufficient clearance for operation and
maintenance
•
Maintain a temperature of 50˚ to 90.5˚ Fahrenheit (10˚ to
32.5˚ Celsius) without rapid changes
•
Maintain a relative humidity between 20% and 80%
•
Be away from direct sunlight, open flames, refrigerators,
water faucets, humidifiers, heaters, or similar equipment
•
Be away from strong vibrations or electromagnetic fields
•
Maintain proper host-printer distance for communication:
within 10 feet (3 m) for parallel; within 25 feet (7.5 m) for
serial; within 1000 feet for LocalTalk
•
Be close to a grounded electrical outlet with the proper
voltage
•
Be on a separate outlet without appliances and office
machines such as air conditioners, copiers, and shredders
which can produce noise on the line
