INSTALLING THE IMAGEWRITER PRINTER
The Imagewriter printer, like the main console, requires a
three conductor, grounded electrical outlet.
Once again, be
sure
that
the equipment
is
properly grounded before using it.
The power cord plugs directly into the back
of
the printer
at
the
lower right-hand side. The receptacle
is
labeled with a wave (
-)
to indicate a standard electrical outlet.
The larger connector on the printer interface cable sup-
plied with the printer should be connected
to
the receptacle on
the lower left side
of
the back
of
the printer.
The
receptacle
is
similar to the mouse connectors, but
about
twice as large.
Be
sure
that
the plug
is
properly aligned with the receptacle before
forcing the plug into position. An improperly aligned connec-
tion can damage the plug as well as the receptacle. Tighten the
fastening screws
to
secure the connection.
The
smaller plug on the printer cable should
be
connected
to the main computer console. The appropriate receptacle
is
labeled with a picture
of
a printer. Once again, observe the
proper alignment of the connectors and tighten the fastening
screws to secure the connection.
The proper installation
of
the printer
is
outlined in detail
in the printer manual. Follow these instructions carefully and
review the installation with the following guidelines.
Be
sure
that
all packing material has been removed from
the printer.
The
printer
is
carefully packaged
at
the factory
to
protect it during shipping. However, all packing material must
be removed to ensure proper operation
of
the printer.
It
is
usually a good practice to save the packing materials in case the
printer needs
to
be shipped or stored in the future.
Before operating the printer, the ribbon cartridge must be
properly installed. The ribbon cartridge snaps into place on the
carriage assembly. Figure 2.3 shows the proper installation
of
a
ribbon cartridge. Note that the ribbon must be aligned in front
of
the print head.
