Setting Up the Star ‘” “
LS-5 Series Printer
The fact that you’re now reading this manual shows that you’ve opened the
carton containing your new Star LS-5 Series Printer. This chapter will help
you to unpack the printer, set it up, and get it running.
First, you shouldmake 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:

Environmental control
The printer andtonercartridge shouldneverbe exposed to strong sunshine
or other direct heat sources. It should also be located away from air
conditioningducts,dustandfumes. Excessivemoistureshouldbeavoided,
such as humidity in excess of 85~oor less than 15%. If it is comfortable
for you, then it will be comfortable for your printer.
A large, strong table or stand
The printer weights approx. 26.5 lbs ( 12kg)and mustbe firmly supported.
Also, the printer will need more room than it takes up in the shipping
carton, because the front paper tray will extend forward from the front; so
plan for some additional space.
A three-pronged outlet
The outlet should be no more than 6.5 feet (2.Om)from the printer (the
length of the power cord), preferably one shielded from power fluctua-
tions. No motor-driven appliance should be connected to the same outlet.
This will avoid interface with the printer’s operations.

Paper
A package of 16-28 lb (60 - 105g/mz)photocopier paper is best to start
with; however, the printer can use thicker paper, as well as special media,
such as envelopes and transparent sheets.
