Справочник Пользователя для Epson LX-80

In addition to the items in the box, you need a cable and possibly

an interface board. The cable connects the printer to your computer,
and the interface board is necessary only for those computers that
can’t use the LX-80’s Centronics

® 

parallel interface. Your computer

manual or your dealer will tell you which cable you need and whether
or not you need a special interface.

Now that you have unpacked your printer, you should choose a

suitable location for it. The main requirement, of course, is that the

printer be close enough to your computer for the cable to reach. Also

remember the following:

l 

Use a grounded outlet, and do not use an adapter plug.

l 

Avoid using electrical outlets that are controlled by wall switches.

Accidentally turning off a switch can wipe out valuable informa-
tion in your computer’s memory and disrupt your printing.

l 

Avoid using an outlet on the same circuit breaker with any large

electrical machines or appliances. These can cause disruptive pow-
er fluctuations.

l 

Keep your printer and computer away from base units for cordless

telephones.

l 

Protect the printer from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture,

and dust. Make sure that it is not close to a heater or other heat
source.

Now that you have chosen where to set up your LX-80, the first

and simplest piece to install is the paper feed knob, which you use to
manually advance the paper-just as you do on a typewriter. To
install the knob, merely push it onto the shaft found in the hole on the

right side of the printer. (See Figure l-2.) The shaft has one flat side

that must be matched with the flat side of the hole in the knob.
