Installation
Unpacking the printer
Place your printer on a solid base (see
Placing your
printer
).
Make sure that the “Up” symbols point to the correct
direction.
Open the packaging and take out the ribbon casset-
te. Pull the printer out of the cardboard box towards
you and remove the remaining packaging material.
Check the printer for any visible transport damage
and completeness. Apart from this CD-ROM (), the
Operator’s Manual (), the power cable (), the rib-
bon () and the paper support () must be included.
If you find any transport damage or if any accesso-
ries are missing, please contact your dealer.

Placing your printer
Place the printer on a solid, flat and non-slip surface
in such a way that it cannot fall down. Make sure to
facilitate access to the control panel and the paper in-
put trays and to leave sufficient space for the paper
ejected.
When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional in-
structions:
Never place the printer in the vicinity of easily inflammable gas or
explosive substances.
The power supply cable may be damaged
if the paper edges constantly chafe the
insulating sheath. The user must always
ensure that there is sufficient distance
between the power supply cable and the
paper.

Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the
printer near a window, protect it from the sunlight with a curtain.
When connecting the computer with the printer, make sure not to exceed the
permitted cable length (see
Technical specifications
).
Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating radiators.
Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity
fluctuations. Protect the printer from dust.
It may be recommended to install the printer in a place which is acoustically
isolated from the workplace because of the noise it may produce.

Checking the printer
voltage
Make sure that the device has been set to the correct voltage (e.g. 230 V
in Europe, 120 V in the USA). To do this, check the type plate above the
power inlet at the back of the printer. Contact your dealer if the setting is
incorrect.
Never switch on the printer if the voltage setting is incorrect, since
this may result in severe damage.
You can set the printer to the correct mains voltage
yourself. To do this, cautiously tilt the printer to the
rear.
