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.

The small noise filter is for the RS232C serial interface cable, while the larger

one is for the cable of peripheral units.
