Fig. 1-1 Unpacking
If anything is missing, contact the dealer 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.

1-2. 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.
P Choose a rm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to vibration.
P The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby and unobstructed.
P Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for you to connect
the two.
P Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
P Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources of extreme heat.
P Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
P 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.
P Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.
P This device employs a DC motor and switches that have an electrical contact point.
Avoid using the device in environments where silicon gas can become volatile.
PWhen disposing of the printer, obey local regulations.
WARNING
P Shut down your equipment immediately if it produces smoke, a strange odor, or unu-
sual noise. Immediately unplug the equipment and contact your dealer for advice.
P Never attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous.
P Never disassemble or modify this product. Tampering with this product may result in
injury, re, or electric shock.
