1. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
1-1. Unpacking
Check each item in the box against Figure 1-1 to make sure that you have
everything (there should be five items).
If any of these items are missing, contact your supplier.
Fig. 1-1
1-2. Handling Notes
Before you start setting up your printer, make sure that you have a suitable place
in which to locate it. By “a suitable place”, we mean:
•Close to an easily accessible socket-outlet.
•A firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free
•Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc)
•Away from excessive humidity
•Away from excessive dust
•With access to a steady power supply that is not subject to power surges. For
example, do not connect the printer to the same circuit as a large, noise-
producing appliance such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner.
NOTE: Make sure that the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s
identification plate.

3. FERRITE CORE INSTALLATION *EUROPE ONLY
NOTE: Take special care when following the procedures listed below.
■Two ferrite core noise filters, large and small, come packed with the printer.
The small noise filter is for the RS232C serial interface cable, while the larger
one is for the cable of peripheral units.

Pass fastener through ferrite core.
Pass fastener around cable and lock it.
Cut off excess with scissors.

4. CONNECTING THE INTERFACE CABLE
4-1. RS-232C or RS-422A Serial interface
Follow the procedures below to connect the interface cable:
Fig. 4-1
1Switch off the power to the printer
and computer.
2Insert the interface cable into the
connector. (Besurethatthecableis
oriented correctly before inserting
it.)
3Fasten the right and left screws to
fix them in place on the connector.
4Connect the other end of the inter-
face cable to your computer.

NOTE: The data transfer conditions between the computer and the printer must
be made compatible with the DIP switch settings on the printer. (Refer
to “APPENDIX”.)

conditions suivantes:
•A proximité d’une prise d’accès facile
•Surface ferme et à niveau pratiquement sans aucunes vibrations
•A distance de toute chaleur excessive (par exemple lumière du soleil directe,
radiateurs etc.)
•A distance de toute humidité excessive
•A distance de poussière excessive
•Accès à une source d’alimentation constante ne subissant pas de pointes
