Plugging in the printer
Follow these steps to plug in the printer:
1. Be sure the printer is turned off.
2. Plug the power cable into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
WARNING: Whenever you turn off the power, wait at least
five seconds before turning it back on. Rapid switching on
and off can damage the printer.
Loading a sheet of paper
Next, you need to load a sheet of paper that is letter size (if you have an
FX-850) or 14 inches wide (if you have an FX-1050).
WARNING: Before turning on the printer, be absolutely sure
you have removed all protective materials. Turning on the
printer while the print head cannot move may seriously
damage the print mechanism.
