2-3. 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 host computer for you to connect the two.
Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources of extreme heat.
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.
Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.

3-2. Connecting to a Peripheral Unit
You can connect a peripheral unit to the printer using a modular plug. The following describes how to install the ferrite core and make the actual connection. See “Modular plug” on page 30 PoweredUSB for details about the type of modular plug that is required. Note that this printer does not come with a modular plug or wire, so it is up to you to obtain one that suits your needs.
CAUTION
Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet and that the computer is turned off before making connections.
(1) Connect the peripheral drive cable to the connector on the rear panel of the printer.
CAUTION
Do not connect a telephone line into the peripheral drive connector. Failure to observe this may result in damage to the printer.
Also, for safety purposes, do not connect wiring to the external drive connector if there is a chance it may carry peripheral voltage.

3-3. Loading the Roll Paper
Be sure to use roll paper that matches the printer’s specification.
When using a paper roll with an 57.5 mm width, install the paper roll holder as described on the following page.
Cover open lever
1)Push the cover open lever, and open the printer cover.
2)While observing the direction of the roll, set the paper roll into the hollow, and pull on the leading edge of the paper toward you.
Roll paper
Paper roll holder
Tear Bar Model
Note: When using a paper roll with an 57.5 mm width, install the paper roll holder in the groove in the printer.
If a paper roll with a 57.5 mm width has been used, a paper roll with a 79.5 mm width cannot be used. (Changing from the smaller roll to a larger roll will cause part of the print head to rub against the platen and deteriorate.)
3)Push down both sides of the printer cover to close.
Note: Make sure that the printer cover is securely closed.
4)Tear Bar Model:
Tear off the paper as shown.
Auto Cutter Model:
If the printer cover is closed after turning on the power, the cutter operates automatically and the front end of the paper is cut.
