You must remove all protective materials packed around and inside your printer before you set it up and turn on the power. Follow the directions on the Notice Sheet (packed with the printer) to remove these materials.
Save all packing and protective materials in case you need to ship the printer in the future. It should always be transported in its original packaging or equivalent materials.
Choosing a Place for the Printer
Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your printer.
❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
❏Leave adequate room around the printer for easy operation and maintenance.
❏Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture or dust.
❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the power cord.
❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. An interruption of power can erase information in the memory of your printer or computer. Also avoid outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause voltage fluctuations.
