Fig-we 1-1. Unpacking the LQ-1500 during operation. Here are some additional suggestions to follow: Place the LQ-1500 on a flat, stable surface. The printer will make more noise if you place it on a table that moves or vibrates. 2. Connect the printer to a grounded electrical outlet (do not use an adapter plug). It’s a good idea to choose an outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch that could be accidentally shut off dur- ing the printing process. 3. Choose a location which will allow eno

Figure 1-4. Paper feed knob Removing the dust cover The dust cover is the brown plastic cover which keeps dust out of the print mechanism and reduces the noise level when the printer is on. If you are using the optional tractor unit, you will not use the dust cover. Lift off the dust cover. It just sits in a recess on the top of the printer so removal is easy Set the dust cover aside if you will be needing it. Put it away in the printer box if you plan to use the optional tractor unit.

Figure 1-5. Removing the front cover Discovering what’s inside Now that you can see the insides of the printer, take a few moments to find some of the parts that you need to know about. Study Figure until you can identify these parts: The print head is probably the easiest part to locate, so start with it. The print head is the large, black, finned object that moves back and forth on two silver rods across the printer. The ribbon guide is the silver shield on the side of the print head next to t

Close the paper bail so that it is against the platen. 2. Grasp the print head by the finned part and slide it along the silver rods until it is positioned

Installing the Sheet Guide The sheet guide serves a dual purpose on the LQ-1500. If you are using single sheets of paper, the guide ensures consistent margins and straight lines of print. If you are using pin-feed paper, the sheet guide is used as a paper separator to keep the incoming and outgoing paper from interfering with each other. Assembling the three pieces First, you must assemble the three pieces of the sheet guide. 1. Orient the sheet guide so that the textured side is up and the met
