Static Electricity Damage

To prevent static electricity damage to any of the following 
components, touch a grounded metal surface, such as the 
printer's bare metal frame prior to touching the 
component.

Interface connectors: network, USB, parallel, and 
connector for optional paper feeder

Connector pins on the optional paper feeder

Electrical components, connectors inside the printer

Interface Cable

Always use a shielded interface cable. Use of an 
unshielded cable can result in radio interference with 
data.

Power Source

The voltage level of the power source must not vary more 
than ±10% from the voltage level marked on the 
nameplate (located on the rear of the printer).
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use a line conditioner, transient suppressor or 
surge protector as it may cause a printer error.

Ventilation Space

The ventilation space is needed more than 20 mm (0.8") 
between the printer and a wall.

Make sure that all accessories shown below were 
provided and have not been damaged. Report damage or 
shortages to the reseller from which the printer was 
purchased. The final page includes an area for recording 
important information such as the name of reseller, serial 
number, and date of purchase.

NOTE:

Save the original carton and packing materials for future 
shipping and transportation of the printer. They have 
been specifically designed to protect the equipment 
during shipment.
