The fact that you’re now reading this manual shows that you’ve got at least
as far as opening the carton containing your new Star LaserPrinter 8111. This
chapter will help you do unpack the printer, set it up, and get it running.
First, though, you should make some preparations. You may already have
decided on the printer’s new location. Whether you have or have not, run
through this checklist of requirements:
l environmental control -The printer and toner cartridge should never
be exposed to strong sunshine or other direct heat sources. It should also
be located away from air conditioning ducts, dust andfumes. Excessive
moisture should be avoided, such as humidity in excess of 80% or less
than 20%. If it is comfortable for you, then it will be comfortable for your
printer.
l a large, strong table or stand
-The printer weighs 45 lbs (20 kg), and
must be firmly supported. Also, the printer will need more room than it
takes up in the shipping carton, because the paper cartridge will extend
forward from the front, and an auxiliary paper tray will unfold from the
rear; so plan for a space at least 3 x 4 ft. (lm2). Because the top of the
printer must open, be sure there is at least 24 in. of headroom above the
table/stand.
l a three-pronged outlet -
The outlet should be no more than 5 feet
(1 Sm) from the printer (the length of the power cord), preferably one
shielded from power fluctuations. In any case, no motor-driven appli-
ance should be connected to the same outlet, to avoid interference with
the printer’s operations.
. access to the computer/workstation/network - If you will be using
a serial connection, the printer should be a maximum of 50 feet (Urn)
away, with a parallel connection, no more. than 6 feet (2m) .
l a fresh toner cartridge (product #EP-S).
