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.
