Preparing the Printer for Use
After you have familiarized yourself with the printer components, prepare the printer for use.
Caution • When you are loading media or ribbon, remove all jewelry that could come into
contact with the printhead or other printer parts.

by touching the metal printer frame or by using an anti-static wriststrap and mat.

and connectors
