1.1. Positioning the Printer

Basic requirements

The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is:

❒Near the computer

If the parallel interface is used to connect the printer to the computer, the connecting cable should be shielded type and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

❒Level and well supported

Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk. Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The printer may fall, causing injury, or serious damage to the printer.

❒Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone (see section Power Supply on next page).

Power requirements are:

	Voltage	120 V (U.S.A./Canada), 220 V to 240 V (European countries), ±10 % at each voltage

	Frequency	60 Hz (120 V), ±2 %
	Frequency	50 Hz/60 Hz (220 V to 240 V), ±2 %
		50 Hz/60 Hz (220 V to 240 V), ±2 %

	Current capacity	Max. 5.2 A at 120 V, or Max. 2.8 A at 220 V to 240 V

The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be used.

If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 meters (17 feet) or less.

❒Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry

Temperature	10°C to 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F)

Humidity	20% to 80%

If you install the printer where the temperature or humidity is outside the above ranges, you may not get the best print quality, and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.
