Star Micronics 4III Printer User Manual


 
This chapter is designed for dual use, since most computer users fall into one
of two categories. Some people like to read the documentation through from
beginning to end. Others like to plunge right into the hands-on mode, using
documentation as a quick reference, at most.
This chapter is for both groups. It can be read in sequence with the rest of the
book, or it can be used as a stand-alone aid.
4.1 PRELIMINARIES
Your Star LaserPrinter 4111 comes in two basic parts:
l the printer body
_
l the EP-L cartridge
When you place your printer for use with your computer, be sure that:
l it sits on a strong, stable table
l there is circulation on all sides, including the bottom
l you remove all the packing material before you use the printer.
If you are just setting up your Star LaserPrinter 4111, and have not read the
material in Chapter 2, please take the time to read the section “2.2 Installing
the EP-L Cartridge”. It is very vital that you handle and install this com-
ponent precisely, because it contains important laser printing devices, as well
as the toner (“ink”) that actually prints on the paper.
In addition to the multi-purpose tray that is provided as a standard feature,
various types of paper can be fed into the printer using an op:ional paper
feeder unit. Five different cassettes are available for use with the feeder unit;
A4, Letter, Legal, Executive and Envelope. For installing the feeder unit and
cassettes, see separate manuals.
The printer’s on-off switch is located at the front.
