Use a grounded outlet - one that has three holes to match the
power plug on the printer. Don’t use an adapter plug.
Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat,
moisture, or dust.
Avoid using electrical outlets that are controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers. Accidental disruption of power can wipe out
information in your computer’s and printer’s memory.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit with large motors or other
appliances that might disturb the power supply.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of
interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless
telephones.
Assembling the Printer
After you have decided on a location for your printer, it is necessary to
install the platen knob, the ribbon cartridge, and the paper guide.
Installation instructions for these three components are given below.
Installing the platen knob
After you have decided on a location for your printer, the first step in
setting it up is to install the platen knob.
You will find the platen knob packed in an indentation in the white foam
packing material.
