Finding a Location for the Printer

As you look for an appropriate location for the printer, keep the following guidelines in mind.

•Allow enough room around the printer to do the following.

—Front Side - load paper and retrieve prints

—Back Side - insert cables and power on/off the printer

—Right Side - load ribbon cartridge

You also need enough room to turn the printer on its side to clean the pick roller and open the paper jam access area on the bottom.

•Place the printer on a flat, smooth surface. Make sure airflow around the top and back is not blocked.

•Avoid areas where ventilation ducts, open doors, or frequent passers-by might expose the printer and paper to high levels of debris. Airborne dirt particles can cause image quality problems.

NOTE: If you are using the printer in an enclosed kiosk, filtered ventilation is required.
