2.1

While unpacking the printer, please check all packing materials closely to avoid misplacing any

necessary parts. After the printer is removed from the box, verify that all parts are present and in

good condition (see Figure 3). All packaging material should be kept and used if the printer is to be

shipped. The printer must be returned in the original container to insure proper warranty coverage.

2.2

Position the printer so that the rear is assessable. Refer to Figure 2 and note the mounting

positions of each rack. Notice that the bent flanges point inward. Using the thumbscrews provided,

attach the racks to the printer.

2.3

Before connecting the printer to a power source, verify that the voltage selector, located on the rear

of the printer, is set correctly. If not, open the selection door and rotate the cylinder until the correct

voltage is shown.

Plug the printer in and turn the power switch on. The green power indicator should light. The

motors will then adjust tension and a tone will be heard. If this does not occur, check the power

source and if necessary call your service organization.
