c - LOCATING THE PRINTER

The following section covers the unpacking and installation of your printer,

together with information on paper loading and handling (both continuous

and cut-sheet paper).

Before you start unpacking and setting up your printer, make sure that you

have a suitable place on which to locate it. By “a suitable place”, we mean:

l A firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free

l Away from excessive heat (ie away from direct sunlight and away from

heaters, etc)

l Away from excessive humidity

l Away from excessive dust

9 A location with sufficient space to locate the printer and any paper to be

fed into it, as well as the printed paper coming out

l If you are using aparallel connection to your computer, make sum that it

is within 2m (6ft) of the printer (an RS-232 connection using the optional

RS-232 interface can be made over longer distances).

UNPACKING, SETTING UP AND CONNECTION

Now unpack the contents of the printer shipping container, and make sure

that you have the following:

. The printer itself

. Paper guide assembly

l The platen knob

9 A fabric ribbon

If any of these items am missing, contact your supplier.

User’s manual

Theoptional accessories which you may have ordered with your printer are:

. Serial (RS-232) interface hoard

. Automatic sheet feeder

9 Color option kit

See the installation instructions contained with these optional items for

details of how to attach them to your printer.

Setting up

Place your printer in the position where it is going to be permanently sited,

and remove all packing material from inside the top cover. This packing

material is intended to prevent damage to the printer in transit. You may like

to keep this packing with the printer carton if you intend transporting the

printer for use at a different location.

laten knob

The platen knob should be removed from the accessory box inside the

shipping carton. Mount the platen knob on the shaft on the right-hand side

of the printer. Turn the knob on the shaft before pushing the knob fully into

position.

. NOTE

Before turning the platenknob, always ensure that the power to the printer

is OFF.

Remove the top cover by lifting the front (using the two grips at the side),

and pulling towards you. Now install the ribbon.

1 Use the tensioning knob on the ribbon cartridge to tighten the ribbon if it

is slack (turn clockwise).

2 The ribbon should pass between the print head and the print head shield

(see illustration below).

3 Use the grips on the side of the ribbon cartridge to help locate the cartridge

(squeeze them inwards gently), and make sure that the spindles on the

cartridge holder fit into the sockets on the cartridge itself.
