GETTING TO KNOW
YOUR SR-lo/15
The more you learn about SR-lo/15 and its sophisticated
features, old and new, the better SR-lo/15 is going to perform
for you. Remember, it’s not just what you know - it’s what
you know how to use! So, let’s start getting acquainted!
Subjects we’ll cover in this chapter include:
l Components and controls
l Paper-out and front-cover-open detectors
l Paper selection and loading
l Adjusting the gap -
for different paper thickness
l Self-test - printout of available characters
l Some tips for smoother operation
COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS
First, the components. You saw most of these when you un-
packed you printer. Now we’ll give you a condensed rundown
on what they do. (For details on your initial set-up of
SR-10/15, with all components in place, see Chapter 1.)
PRINTER COVERS - There are two, front and rear. Their
function is to protect the ribbon and print head from dust and
dirt, and also to reduce the sound level.
SINGLE SHEET GUIDE - As you’ve guessed, this plastic rack
is used to support and guide the single sheets during printing.
SPROCKET PAPER GUIDE - This wire rack serves the same
function, but for sprocket paper.
INK RIBBON CARTRIDGE - A neat and tidy timesaver, which
snaps into place within a few seconds.
POWER CORD - Connects the printer to its power source,
usually a wall outlet. It’s located at the right rear.
PRINT HEAD - This is the unit which does the actual printing.
