2.1.1 SETTING UP THE PRINTER
Consider the following when setting up the printer:
Locate a solid flat surface with adequate room to set the printer. Make sure the AC
adaptor can be located so that the AC power cable can be attached to the printer and
an AC power outlet. The location should be near the host or computer terminal. The
maximum distance recommended is:
- 10 feet for a Parallel interface cable. Make sure it meets IEEE1284 specifications
- 18 feet for the optional Serial RS232 Interface
- 10 feet for the optional USB interface without hub
- the optional 10baseT Ethernet Interface depends upon the LAN cabling
- Up to 100m for the Wireless LAN, depending on structural conditions
Follow these steps to set up your printer:
1. Make sure the power switch on the Operator
Panel is in the OFF (0) position and place the
AC adaptor in a safe and secure location.
2. Connect the Input Power connector to the
printer. This connector is buttoned and must
be turned approximately 3/4 turn clockwise to
secure it to the printer.
3. Connect the AC Power Cable to an AC Outlet
supply of an appropriate voltage.
4. Connect the interface cable to the host system.
If you are using the Parallel Port connection, a
parallel IEEE1284 interface cable must be
used to realize the high data transfer rate of
the printer's parallel port. If another interface is
installed, the appropriate cable should be
used.
5. Load the label media following the instructions
in this section.
6. Configure the printer for label width and operating mode using the instructions in this section.
7. Press the printer power button to the ON (I) position.
8. Print a test label to verify the printer is set up and operating correctly.
