YOUR SD-lo/l5
The more you learn about SD-lo/15 and its sophisticated
features, old and new, the better SD- lo/15 is going to perform
for you. Remember, it’s not just what you know - it’s what
you know how to use! So, let’s start getting acquainted!
Subjects we’ll cover in this chapter include:
l Components and controls
l Paper-out and front-cover-open detectors
l Paper selection and loading
l Adjusting the gap - for different paper thickness
l Self-test - printout of available characters
COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS
First, the components. You saw most of these when you un-
packed you printer. Now we’ll give you a brief explanation of
what they do. (For details on your initial set-up of SD-10/15,
with all components in place, see Chapter 1.)
PRINTER COVER - This function is to protect the ribbon and
print head from dust and dirt, and also to reduce the sauna level.
SPROCKET PAPER GUIDE - As you’ve guessed, this wire
rack is used to support and guide the sprocket paper during
printing.
INK RIBBON CARTRIDGE - A neat and tidy timesaver, which
snaps into place within a few seconds.
POWER CORD - Connects the printer to its power source,
usually a wall outlet. It’s located at the left rear.
PRINT HEAD - This is the unit which does the actual printing.
Like a typewriter, the print head prints through an ink ribbon.
