Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these instructions before you set up your printer.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.

Unplug the printer from the wall outlet before you clean it,

and use a damp cloth for cleaning, not liquid or aerosol

cleaners.

Do not use your printer near water or spill any liquid on it.

Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, table, or

other surface that may allow the printer to fall.

Do not block any slots or openings in the cabinet. These are

provided for the ventilation necessary to ensure reliable

operation and protection from overheating. Placing the

printer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface may

block the openings. Also, do not place the printer in a

built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

Never place the printer near or over a radiator or heat

Use the type of power source indicated on the label. If you

are not sure of the type of power available, consult your

dealer or local power company.

This printer may be equipped with a plug having a third

(grounding) pin, which fits only into a grounding-type

outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert

the plug into the outlet, have an electrician replace your

obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the

grounding-type plug.

10.

Do not put your printer where the cord will be walked on.

. . .

iii

11.

If you use an extension cord, make sure that the total of the

ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension

cord does not exceed the extension cord’s ampere rating.

Also, make sure that the total of all products plugged into

the wall outlet does not exceed

amperes.

12.

Never push objects of any kind into your printer because

they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts

that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

13.

Except as specifically explained in the user’s manual, do not

attempt to repair the printer yourself. This could expose

you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all

servicing in those compartments to service personnel.

14.

Unplug the printer from the wall outlet and have it repaired

by a qualified service person under the following

conditions:

When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed

If liquid has been spilled into it

If it has been exposed to rain or water

If it does not operate normally when the operating

instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions since

improper adjustment of other controls may result in

damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the printer to normal

operation.

If it has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged

If it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating

a need for service.

Tips for Printing on Single Sheets

When you print on single sheets, you may notice that your

printer prints the first page of your file correctly but then

prints too low on the next page, or that it prints the last few

lines from one page onto the next.

These differences in print position are easy to adjust; you can

simply change some of the settings in your application

program as described below to get the right results.

When you install an application program, it normally asks

you what printer you are using. Make sure you choose the

correct printer. See Chapter 1 for, the right printer to

choose.

Many programs include an option to set the maximum lines

per page. If your program has a lines-per-page setting and

you are using

8.5

ll-inch

paper, set the lines per page to

61;

for

A4,

try

65.

Note:

Tofind the right lines-per-page settingfor paper that is not

8.5

12,

create

a test document using your application

program. Set

your top

and bottom margins to 0 and then create a file

numbered lines from

1 to

66.

When you print yourfile, notice the last number printed on

the first page. This is your maximum lines-per-page setting.

If your program doesn’t have a lines-per-page setting, try

decreasing the top margin or increasing the bottom

margin, or both, until you get the results you want.

You can also try adjusting the form length setting. For a

standard

8.5

ll-inch

page, try setting the form length at

inches

(10.5

inches for

A4).

Some programs also let you indicate whether you are using

single sheets or continuous paper. Make sure you choose

single sheets.
