The Starting Line
This important chapter shows how to unpack, set up, and test your new printer.
Read it
before you
get into trouble. The time spent will be your best investment
since buying the printer itself.
Counting the Parts
Open the box and carefully and remove the contents. We should find:
1. This User’s Manual (obviously . . . )
2. The Epson MX-70 printer
3. A long box containing the ribbon cartridge
4. A wire rack to guide the paper
We also need a cable to connect the printer to our particular computer. Your
Epson dealer can provide cables that match the Apple, TRS-80, and other
computers. If you use a non-Epson cable, make sure it is wired properly. We
have tried many other cables that “should” work, but don’t.
The MX-70 uses the Centronics Standard Parallel Interface scheme. Users
whose computers require other interfacing schemes should select another
printer in the MX series.
Setting it up
Let’s first remove the printer lid so we can work without breaking something.
Lay the MX-70 flat on a firm surface and raise its lid to the full vertical position
(Figure l-l).
