Positioning the Printer
Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements:
Clearance
Be sure to secure enough space
around the printer. Prolonged
use without sufficient clearance
may cause heat to build up
within the printer, resulting in
fire.
Environment
Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the recommended range. Print quality may suffer and there will be an increased
chance of paper jams.
Places to Avoid
Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to:
• Direct drafts of hot or cold air
• Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near building entrances.)
• Sudden temperature or humidity changes
• Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators
•Excessive dust
•Vibration
• Unstable surfaces and surfaces that are not level
• Ammonia or other harmful fumes (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or
make liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!)
• Excessive sunlight or humidity
• Lack of ventilation
• Low air pressure, e.g., elevations greater than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above
sea level
Te m pe r a t u re

Connecting the Printer to the Computer
There are various ways of connecting the printer to the computer, such as through the
parallel interface connector, serial interface connector, or through the option network
interface card.
Printer Connections
Before performing this step, be sure to turn off both the printer and the computer’s power switches and unplug the printer’s power plug from the power
outlet. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.
A standard Centronics parallel interface connector ( ) and serial (RS-232C)
interface connector (IOIOI) are located on the rear of the printer.
