Setting Up the Printer
Selecting a Good Location
Choose a printer location that is:
level and solid
Print head speeds are very high. If the printer table is not extremely
stable, the printer may cause the printer table to rock.
away from direct sunlight, away from heaters and heating vents
Ribbon inks dry out in the sun. High temperatures degrade plastic and
stress electrical components
away from excessive dust or moisture
Dust shortens print head and gear train life. Very high humidity causes
paper handling problems.
within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of a grounded AC outlet
The length of the power cord is approximately 6.5 feet (2 meters).
suitable for using the bottom paper path
The printer stand must have a slot through which to feed paper. A
suitable pedestal is available from GENICOM. The bottom paper path is
the best choice for labels, bar code labels, multi-part forms, card stock
and other hard-to-feed stock.
Unpacking the Printer
Packaged with the printer is an Unpacking/Re-packing Instruction Sheet,
this Quick Reference Guide, a Compact Disk containing the User’s
Manual and the Programmer’s Manual, a power cord, a ribbon cartridge,
two paper guides, and a tractor assembly.
Follow the information on the Unpacking Instruction Sheet.
