Chapter 1: Printer Setup

This chapter contains important information on setting up your printer. Be sure

to read this chapter carefully before using the printer for the first time. In this

chapter you will learn about:

❏

Choosing a place for the printer

❏

Unpacking and setting up the printer

❏

Installing the ribbon cassette

❏

Connecting to a host computer

❏

Inserting paper

Choosing a place for the printer

Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think

about where you plan to use it. Remember the following points when doing this.

✓

Choose a ﬁrm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to

vibration.

✓

The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby and

unobstructed.

✓

Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for you to

connect the two.

✓

Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.

✓

Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources of

extreme heat.

✓

Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.

✓

Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It should

not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or other

appliances that cause power spikes.

✓

Use a power outlet that matches the power rating noted on the label afﬁxed

to the bottom of your printer.

✓

Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.

Unpacking the printer

Check to make sure that the carton contains each of the items shown in the

following illustration.

If anything is missing, contact the dealer where you bought the printer and ask

them to supply the missing part. Note that it is a good idea to keep the original

box and all the packing materials just in case you need to pack the printer up

again and send it somewhere at a later date.

Removing the protective materials

Four protective materials are inserted into the printer to protect components

during shipping. Before using the printer, be sure to remove all protective

materials as shown in the illustration.

Removing the printer cover

❏

Push straight up on the ridged locations on the sides of the printer cover to

remove it from the printer.

❏

To replace the cover, slide it back down into position. Gently press down on

the cover until you hear it click securely into place.

Installing the ribbon cassette

❏

Make sure that the printer’s paper release is activated (the paper is not held

in place by the paper feed roller). If it cannot be determined whether or not

the paper release is activated, turn on the printer and check if the

RELEASE

indicator on the control panel is lit. If the indicator is not lit,

press the

RELEASE

button until the indicator lights up.

❏

Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its power

outlet.

❏

Remove the printer cover.

❏

Remove the ribbon cassette from its packaging, and turn its knob in the

direction indicated by the arrow to take up any slack in the ribbon.

❏

Holding the ribbon cassette so that the ribbon is facing down, install the

cassette into the slip printer as shown in the illustration.

❏

Press gently but ﬁrmly on the cassette until it snaps securely into place.

❏

Rotate the knob on the cassette again to take up any slack.

❏

Replace the printer cover.

Important!

Make sure that the ribbon is not twisted before installing the ribbon cassette.

Otherwise, the ribbon may become jammed in the printer and damage the

ribbon rollers.

In addition, if the ribbon becomes twisted after installation, remove the ribbon

cassette, untwist the ribbon, and then reinstall the cassette.

<Correct: Ribbon is not twisted> <Incorrect: Ribbon is twisted>

Removing the ribbon cassette

Use the following procedure to remove the ribbon cassette from the slip printer

when you want to replace it with a new one.

❏

Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its power

outlet.

❏

Remove the printer cover.

❏

Grasping the ribbon cassette as shown, gently pull it away from the printing

mechanism.

❏

Use the procedure under “Installing the ribbon cassette”on page 4 to install

a new cassette.

Connecting to a power outlet and turning power on and off

❏

Plug the AC adapter that comes with the printer into the printer’s AC

adapter cable connector.

❏

Connect a three-prong grounded power cord to the power cord connector of

the AC adapter.

Note:

The printer does not come with a power cord, so you must provide one yourself.

SP298E.fm Page 6 Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10:10 AM

ENGLISH

❏

Plug the other end of the power cord to a standard household wall outlet.

❏

Use the power switch on the left side of the printer to turn power on and off.

Important!

We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you

do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the

printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access.

At this point you may want to perform a test of the printer to make sure it is

working properly. See page 15 for details on how to test the printer.
