Important Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, may cause interference in radio and television reception. It
has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for class B
computing devices in accordance with the specification in subpart J of part
15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a partial installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna,
Relocate the peripheral away from the receiver,
Move the peripheral away from the receiver
Plug the peripheral into a different outlet, so that the peripheral and
receiver are on different branch circuits
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find
the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference
Problems”.
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington DC 20402 Stock No. 004.000.00345.4.
WARNING: To comply with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a class B computing device, the printer cable must be shielded.
To assure compliance with FCC regulations for a computing device, use
a shielded interface cable with a metal shell connector. The use of cables
not properly shielded may result in violating FCC regulations.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference
regulations of the Canadian department of communications.
This unit complies with DOC standard C108.8-M 1983
ATTENTION: Le présent appareil numérique n’ement pas de bruits radioélectriques déspassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de
la classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radio- électrique
édicté par le minstère des communications du Canada.

➤ Placing your printer Place the printer on a solid, flat, surface, ensuring that the printer is positioned in such a way
that it can not topple, and that there is easy access to the control panel and paper input
devices. Also ensure that there is sufficient space for the printed output.
If you expect that frequent forward and reverse feeds will
occur, you should place the printer as shown in the figure, if
possible.
When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional instructions:
Never place the printer in the vicinity of inflammable gas or explosive substances.
Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the printer near a window, protect it from the sunlight with a curtain.
When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure not to exceed the maximum cable
length (see Reference Manual on the Online CD-ROM, Technical Specifications).
Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices/radiators.
Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Protect the
printer from dust.
It is recommended to install the printer in a place which is acoustically isolated from the
workplace because of the noise it may produce.
STOP
Installation Quick start-up

➤ Connecting the printer
Make sure that the printer is set to the correct voltage (e.g.
230 V in Europe, 120 V in the U.S.A.). To do this, check the
plate above the power inlet at the rear of the printer.
If the setting is incorrect, set the coloured switch at the rear
of the printer to the correct position, using a pointed object
(e.g. screwdriver, ball pen or tweezers).
Make sure that the printer and the computer are switched off,
and connect the printer to the computer with the data cable
(interface cable).
Connect the power cable to the power inlet of the printer.
Connect the power cable plug to a mains socket.
➤ Switching on the printer
The power switch for switching on the printer is located at
the bottom left at the front of the printer when viewed from
the front.
120V
Make sure that the printer is switched off before setting the correct voltage; otherwise severe damage
may be caused.
Never switch on the printer if the voltage setting is
incorrect, since this may cause severe damage to
the printer.

Paper handling This section describes how to set the paper type, load fanfold paper and single sheets, trans-
port paper and move the paper to the tear position.
➤ Changing the
paper type
You can change the paper type either from an application program, by means of the paper
path quick selection feature or in the Setup menu. In this section, the quick selection feature
is described; for detailed information on how to make this setting via the Setup menu, refer
to the Reference Manual on the Online CD-ROM.
On some printer models, the single sheet paper source cannot be selected since these models
are not designed for manual single sheet feeding.
Make sure that the printer is in offline mode; press the Online key, if necessary.
Press the Park (1) key. If fanfold paper is loaded in the printer, it is fed to the
tear position. The text tear paper off appears in the display. Then press any
key. If a single sheet is loaded in the printer, it is ejected.
Use one of the marked keys to select the desired paper path, for example,
Single (2).
The printer returns to offline mode. The display alternates between the basic
menu and the menu in the following figure:
Insert a single sheet (for the procedure, see page 17, Loading single sheets).
Press the Online key to set the printer to ready status. When the printer re-
ceives data from the computer, the single sheet is automatically loaded. Press

u Wichtige Sicherheits-
hinweise
Lesen Sie die folgenden Hinweise genau durch, bevor Sie den Drucker in Betrieb nehmen.
Dadurch schützen Sie sich und vermeiden Schäden an dem Gerät.
Bewahren Sie diese Bedienungsanleitung an einem jederzeit zugänglichen Ort auf.
Den Drucker auf stabilem Untergrund so aufstellen, daß er nicht zu Boden fallen kann.
Den Drucker weder hohen Temperaturen noch direktem Sonnenlicht aussetzen.
Keine Flüssigkeiten mit dem Drucker in Berührung bringen.
Den Drucker keinen Erschütterungen, Stößen oder Vibrationen aussetzen.
Den Drucker nur an eine Steckdose mit der richtigen Spannung anschließen.
Papierkanten können die Isolierung des Netzkabels beschädigen, wenn sie ständig daran
scheuern. Der Benutzer hat Sorge zu tragen, daß das Netzkabel und bewegtes Papier unter
allen Umständen genügend Abstand voneinander haben.
Führen Sie Wartungsarbeiten und Reparaturen keinesfalls selbst aus, sondern verständigen
Sie immer einen qualifizierten Servicetechniker.
Wenn Sie den Drucker vom Netz trennen wollen, immer den Netzstecker an der Steckdose
ziehen.
Weitere Sicherheitshinweise finden Sie an entsprechender Stelle im Text.
