Where to Place Your Printer
Now that your printer is unpacked, you need to find the best place
to put it. Keep the following tips in mind:
l
Place the printer close enough to the computer for the PIC cable to
reach between them.
l
Place the printer on a stable surface. Avoid setting the
LX-90
on
carpeting or chairs.
l
Use a grounded outlet, and do not use an adapter plug.
l Avoid using outlets that are controlled by wall switches-if you
accidentally turn off a switch, you could wipe out valuable infor-
mation in your computer’s memory and stop your printing.
l
Try not to use an outlet on the same circuit breaker with large elec-
trical machines or appliances-they can disrupt the flow of power
to your printer.
l
Protect your printer from direct sunlight, and keep it away from
excessive heat, moisture, and dust.
l
In order to use the tractor and continuous paper, put your
LX-90
where the paper can flow freely in and out of the printer. See the
illustrations for suggestions.
