8Setting Up the Printer
Choosing a Place for the Printer
❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.
❏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.
❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the
power cord. Position the power cord and interface cable so they do
not interfere with paper feeding.
❏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.
❏Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
Assembling the Printer
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
2. Insert the paper knob.
3. Attach the USB cable holder to the back of the printer as shown
below, then lift it up.
