CHAPTER 1
SETTING UP YOUR
PRINTER
Subjects we’ll cover in Chapter 1 include-
. Choosing a suitable place for your printer;
l Unpacking your new printer;
l Setting it up.
WHERE SHALL WE PUT IT?
Before you do anything else, give some thought to where
you’ll be using your printer. Obviously, it will be somewhere
near your computer. And both printer and computer will lead
longer, healthier lives if they like their surroundings. For in-
stance, we recommend. . .
l Using the printer on a flat surface.
l Keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat-
producing appliance.
l Using it only in temperatures where you are comfortable.
l Avoiding locations with a lot of dust, grease, or humidity.
l Giving it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the same
circuit used by large, noise-producing appliances (such as
refrigerators).
l Making sure the line voltage is within 10% of the voltage
specified on the identification plate.
WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
Let’s open the carton and take a look at what’s inside. Check
each item in the box against Figure l-l to make sure that you
have everything (there should be six items).
