Choosing a Place for the Printer

When you select a location for your printer, keep the following in mind:

•Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.

•Place the printer close enough to the computer for the printer cable to reach.

•Leave plenty of room around the printer for your front and rear stacks of continuous paper as well as your printed output.

•Use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter plug.

WARNING: Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

Avoid using electrical outlets that are controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental interruption of power can wipe out information in your computer’s and your printer’s memory.

Avoid using outlets on the same circuit with large motors or electrical appliances that might cause fluctuations in line voltage.

Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference; such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
