Choosing A Place For The Printer; Installing The Ribbon - Epson EX-1000 User Manual

When you are finished unpacking, put the packaging materials and
the head protector in the box and keep them in case you need to
transport the printer. Full details on transporting the printer are in
Appendix D.

Choosing a Place for the Printer

2
The printer must be close enough to the computer for the cable to
reach. Also keep the following tips in mind:
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface-never on a chair or any
l
other unstable support.
Choose a place that is clean and free from excessive heat (including
l
direct sunlight), moisture, and dust.
Use a grounded outlet-one that has three holes to match the power
l
plug on the printer. Don't use an adapter plug.
Avoid sockets on the same circuit with large motors or other
l
appliances that might disturb the power supply
Keep your entire computer system away from potential sources of
l
interference such as the base units of cordless telephones.

Installing the Ribbon

3
The EX uses a simple cartridge ribbon designed for convenient and
trouble-free installation. With the color option kit, you can use a color
ribbon whenever you need one and a normal black ribbon for day-to-
day printing. You install both types of ribbon in-the same way
1. Remove the dust cover.
2. If the printer is plugged in, see that it is turned off.
