Note:
q
The amount of available memory varies according to the number
and kind of applications that are open. To see how much memory
is available, choose About This Macintosh from the Apple menu
and refer to the memory size (listed in kilobytes) under “Largest
Unused Block” (1,024K=1MB).

The memory requirements above are for printing on letter size
paper. These requirem ents may vary depend ing on the size of the
paper, the type of application you are using, and the complexity of
the document you want to print.
In addition to these system and memory requirements, you
also need 8MB of free hard disk space to install your printer
software. To print, you need extra hard disk space amounting
to about double the size of the file you want to print.

2-2
Getting Started
Choosing a Place for the Printer
Follow the guidelines listed below when placing your printer.
q
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will
not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
q
Place the printer close enough to the computer for the
interface cable to reach it easily.
q
Leave adequate room for easy operation and maintenance.
q
Leave enough room on the table at the front of the printer
to lower the output tray.
q
Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid
changes in temperature and humidity. Also keep it away
from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
q
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
q
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be
easily unplugge d.
Note for French-speaking users:
Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut
être débranchée facilement.
2
q
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers. If you must use electrical outlets
controlled by wall switches, do not use the wall switches to
control them. Also, avoid outlets on the same circuit as
large motors or other appliances that can cause fluctuations
in line voltage.
q
Keep the entire computer system away from poten tial
sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
q
Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
Getting Star te d
2-3
Using a printer stand
When using a printer stand, note the following:
q
Use a stand that can support at least 11.0 kg (24.3 lb).
q
Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should
always be kept level.
Attaching the Paper Support
Insert the paper support into the upper slot at the rear of the
printer as sh ow n belo w.
upper slot
rear slot
Note:
To print on transparencies, you need to reposition the paper support
as described in “Loading Transparencies” on page 6-8.
2-4
Getting Started
Plugging in the Printer
1.Check the label on the back of the printer to make sure the
voltage required by the printer matches that of the
electrical outlet into which you will be plugging it. Also,
make sure that you have the correct power cable for your
power source.
2
Caution:
c
2.If the power cord is not attached to the printer, connect it to
the AC inlet on the back of the printer.
3.Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
It is not possible to change the printer’s voltage. If the
rated voltage and your outlet voltage do not match,
contact your dealer for assistance. Do not plug in the
power cord.
Installing the Ink Cartridges
Warning:
The ink cartridges are self-contained units. Under ordinary
w
conditions of use, ink will not leak from a cartridge. If ink does
get on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with
water.
Install the ink cartridges as follows:
Note:
q
Do not open the ink cartridge packages until just before you
install them, or the ink may dry up.
q
Always use new ink cartridges. Reinstalling partially empty ink
cartridges causes the printer to send inaccurate information to the
Status Monitor regarding the amount of ink remaining.
