Setting Up the DA500/DA550 Printer • 2
Follow these guidelines and safety precautions when
selecting a location for your printer.
•
Place the printer on a table or other stable, level
surface within the cable's length (Parallel 10 feet
max. - Serial 15 feet max.) of your computer.
•
Allow for adequate space. The DA500/DA550 is
14.7 inches high, 16.2 inches wide and 21.7 inches
deep, without the wire frame input stacker.
•
Allow for adequate ventilation around the base and
rear of the printer.
•
Protect the printer from heat, dust and moisture.
Avoid placing the printer in direct sunlight.
•
To protect against electric shock, plug the machine
into a properly grounded wall outlet. DO NOT use
an adapter plug. Use of an adapter could compro-
mise the ground and cause a possible shock
hazard or damage to the equipment in the event of
a short circuit.
•
DO NOT remove the ground pin from the line cord.
•
Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches.
Someone could accidently shut your printer off.
•
The power cord wall plug is the primary means of
disconnecting the machine from the AC power.
The wall outlet should be near the machine and
easily accessible.
•
DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or
trap it between pieces of furniture.
•
Insure that there is no strain on the power cord
where it passes between the equipment, walls or
furniture.
•
Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle
into which the machine is plugged is free from
obstruction.
