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 its 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.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 disruption of power can wipe out information in both your computer’s memory and your printer’s memory.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit with large motors or other appliances that might disturb the power supply.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
