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.

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 computer for you to

connect the two with your printer cable.

✓

Allow six inches (15 centimeters) of free space on either side and in the

back of the printer.

✓

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

✓

Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters.

✓

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.

Printer Setup

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 store 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.

Important!

There are several versions of this printer designed for different voltages. It is

not possible to change the voltage of a printer. If the voltage shown on the label

on the bottom of your printer does not match the voltage for your area, contact

your dealer immediately.
