When you are finished unpacking, put the packaging materials and
the head protector in the box and keep them in case you need to
transport the printer. Full details on transporting the printer are in
Appendix D.
2 Choosing a Place for the Printer
The printer must be close enough to the computer for the cable to
reach. Also keep the following tips in mind:
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface-never on a chair or any
other unstable support.
Choose a place that is clean and free from excessive heat (including
direct sunlight), moisture, and dust.
Use a grounded outlet-one that has three holes to match the power
plug on the printer. Don’t use an adapter plug.
Avoid sockets on the same circuit with large motors or other
appliances that might disturb the power supply
Keep your entire computer system away from potential sources of
interference such as the base units of cordless telephones.
3 Installing the Ribbon
The LQ-2500 uses a simple cartridge ribbon for convenient and
troublefree installation. With the color option kit, you can use a color
ribbon whenever
YOU
need one and a normal black ribbon for day-to-
day printing. You install both types of ribbon in the same way
1. Remove the dust cover.
2. If the printer is plugged in, be sure that it’s turned off.
