Location for
Your Printer
Important
Safety Notes
Operating Guide
Follow these guidelines and safety precautions when
selecting a location for your printer:
• Place the printer on a table or other stable, level
surface within the cable's length (Parallel 10 feet
max.; Serial 15 feet max.) of your computer.
• Allow for adequate space. The DA700/DA750 is 14.7
inches high, 16.2 inches wide and 21.7 inches deep,
without the wire frame input stacker.
• Allow for adequate ventilation around the base and
rear of the printer.
• Protect the printer from heat, dust and moisture.
Avoid placing the printer in direct sunlight.
•To protect against electric shock, plug the machine
into a properly grounded wall outlet.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug. Use of an adapter
could compromise the ground and cause a possible
shock hazard or damage to the equipment in the
event of a short circuit.
Page 2-4
• DO NOT remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches.
Someone could accidently shut your printer off.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of
disconnecting the machine from the AC power. The
wall outlet should be near the machine and easily
accessible.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or
trap it between pieces of furniture.
• Insure that there is no strain on the power cord where
it passes between the equipment, walls or furniture.
•Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle into
which the machine is plugged is free from obstruction.

• DO NOT remove covers. The machine covers serve
to enclose hazardous parts. If the machine has been
dropped or has otherwise had the covers stressed in
any way, report it to your Pitney Bowes Customer
Service Representative.
•To reduce the risk of fire and/or electrical shock, do
not attempt to disassemble this machine. If service is
required, contact your Pitney Bowes Customer
Service Representative.
•Keep fingers, loose clothing, jewelry and long hair
away from the moving parts.
•Use only Pitney Bowes approved ink cartridges and
cleaners. Read all instructions before attempting to
operate the equipment.
• Follow any specific occupational safety and health
standards for your workplace or area.
Once you've placed the printer in a suitable location,
assemble the printer components in the following order:
NOTE: Do not plug the printer into the power source
until you've completed steps 1-4.
1. Attach the wire frame input stacker (page 2-6).
2. Install the sliding fence (page 2-7).
3. Position the output stacker (page 2-8).
4. Connect the parallel or serial cable (page 2-9).

2. Open the back cover of the printer.
3. Press the “Replace Print Cartridge” key on the control panel to move the carriage to the middle of the
printer. Do not attempt to move the carriage by hand.
Doing so can result in damage to the carriage assembly.
4. Remove the cartridge from its shipping container by
peeling the top cover off. Be careful not to touch the
gold contacts.
Page 2-12
WARNING! The ink in the cartridge may
be harmful if swallowed. Keep new and
used cartridges out of reach of children.
Discard empty cartridges immediately.

the print cartridge, being careful not to touch the
copper nozzles.
