Follow these guidelines and safety precautions when se-
lecting 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 DA700/DA750 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 compromise 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 ac-
cessible.
• 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 obstruc-
tion.

Once you’ve placed the printer in a suitable location, assem-
ble the printer components in the following order:
NOTE: Do not plug the printer into the power source until
you’ve completed steps 1-4.
1. Attach the wire frame input stacker (page 2-6).
2. Install the sliding fence (page 2-7).
3. Position the output stacker (page 2-8).
4. Connect the parallel or serial cable (page 2-9).
5. Attach the power cord and turn the printer ON
(page 2-11).
Assembling the
DA700/DA750
• DO NOT remove covers. The machine covers serve
to enclose hazardous parts. If the machine has been
dropped or has otherwise had the covers stressed in any
way, report it to your Pitney Bowes Customer Service
Representative.
• To reduce the risk of fire and/or electrical shock, do not
attempt to disassemble this machine. If service is re-
quired, contact your Pitney Bowes Customer Service
Representative.
• Keep fingers, loose clothing, jewelry and long hair away
from the moving parts.
• Use only Pitney Bowes approved ink cartridges and
cleaners. Read all instructions before attempting to oper-
ate the equipment.

dards for your workplace or area.

Attach the Wire Frame to the Printer.
1. Hook the bottom edge of the wire frame under the de-
flector. The wire frame slides between the feed rollers
and the paper deflector. Make sure the front rod is en-
gaged into the key slot bottom.

Slide bottom edge
under here.
Insert the metal sheet into
the height adjustment slot.
2. Rotate the wire frame and insert the curved metal sheet
on the bottom of the frame into the height adjustment
slot.
3. Adjust the angle of the wire frame so it’s positioned at
about a 45 degree angle. Turn the lock knob on the side
of the slide clockwise to hold the wire frame in position.
You can adjust both the height and side-to-side position
of the wire frame to accommodate the size and type of
the material you’re running. We talk about this in the next
chapter.
