PART 1 INSTALLATION
1.1 Precautions
(1) The printer is to be used free-standing and should be placed on a stable surface providing easy
access to the control panel and to the paper well when the lid is open.
(2) Do not site the printer in an excessively hot or humid location. Exposure to grease, dust, metal
swarf or liquids is best avoided.
(3) When using the power adapter avoid using a mains outlet which also supplies heavy switching
machinery since a noisy supply may impair printer operation.
(4) Ensure that the adapter provides the correct operating voltage. Refer to section 3.5 for supply
details.
(5) Care must be taken to ensure that any power adapter supplied by the customer meets with
national safety requirements and has the correct output voltage and polarity. The manufacturer
has no responsibility for equipment operating outside these parameters.
(6) Do not remove paper by pulling it from the back of the mechanism and do not pull excessive
lengths through the top of the mechanism. Either of these operations may cause paper to tear and
jam the mechanism.

1.3 Self-Test
To perform a self-test press the power “ON” and “FEED” switch simultaneously and keep them
depressed until the test starts. This will check all the mechanics, and a large proportion of the
software and hardware without the need for connection to a host. The software issue is printed
in double height, double width text, followed by the character set in normal text. Below this are
listed the current settings of the user selectable options. If the settings are correct for your host,
