Setting Up the Printer 3

1Setting Up the Printer

Follow the instructions in this chapter to unpack and set up your

printer.

1-1 Unpacking the Printer

Besides the items shown in the illustration below, the printer box

should include an EPSON printer software CD-ROM and a Notice

Sheet.

Note:

Depending on your printer model, the power cord may be permanently

attached to the printer. Also, the shape of the power cord plug varies

depending on the country of purchase; be sure the plug you have is the

right one for your location.

4Setting Up the Printer

cCaution:

There are several models of the printer designed for different

voltages, and it is not possible to adjust the printer for use with

another voltage. If the label on the back of the printer does not

show the correct voltage for your country, contact your dealer.

You must remove all protective materials packed around and

inside your printer before you set it up and turn on the power.

Follow the directions on the Notice Sheet (packed with the

printer) to remove these materials.

Save all packing and protective materials in case you need to ship

the printer in the future. It should always be transported in its

original packing materials.

1-2 Choosing a Place for the Printer

Follow these guidelines when selecting a location for your printer.

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not

operate properly if it is tilted or placed at an angle.

❏Place the printer where you can easily connect it to a network

interface cable, if necessary.

❏Leave adequate room around the printer for easy operation

and maintenance.

❏Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid

changes in temperature and humidity. Keep it away from

direct sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive

moisture or dust.

❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.

❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily

unplug the power cord.

Setting Up the Printer 5

Note for French-speaking users:

Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut être

débranchée facilement.

❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or

automatic timers. An interruption in power can erase

information in the memory of your printer or computer. Also

avoid outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other

appliances that can cause voltage fluctuations.

❏Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources

of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the

base units of cordless telephones.

❏Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.

If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:

❏Use a stand that can support at least the following weight:

❏Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should

always be kept level.

❏Position your printer’s power cord and interface cable so they

do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure the

cables to a leg of the printer stand.

6Setting Up the Printer

1-3 Assembling the Printer

Follow the steps in this section to attach the paper guide and

install the ribbon cartridge.

Attaching the paper guide

To attach the paper guide to your printer, insert the tabs on the

paper guide straight down into the mounting slots on the printer.

Then place the paper guide in the upright position.

Note:

You can use the paper guide only when the tractor is installed in the

front or rear push position. To switch from printing on single sheets

using the paper guide to printing on continuous paper from a tractor,

see “Switching Between Continuous Paper and Single Paper” in the

Reference Guide.

Setting Up the Printer 7

When you are not using the paper guide, lay it flat on the printer

to prevent it from obstructing your paper or being damaged. To

lay the paper guide down, lift it up slightly, then lower it until it

is lying flat on top of the printer.

1-4 Installing the Ribbon Cartridge

EPSON recommends the use of genuine EPSON ribbon cartridges

(#8750 for the FX-880+, #8755 for the FX-1180+). Products not

manufactured by EPSON may cause damage to your printer,

which is not covered by EPSON’s warranties.

Follow these steps to install the ribbon cartridge:

wWarning:

You need to move the print head by hand to install the ribbon

cartridge. If you have just used the printer, the print head may be

hot; let it cool for a few minutes before touching it.

8Setting Up the Printer

the power switch is pressed down to the

Nside.

2. If the printer is connected to an electrical outlet, unplug it from

the outlet.

3. Open the printer cover to the upright position, then pull it up

to remove it.
