Choosing a Place for the Printer

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted.

If you use a printer stand, make sure it can support at least 75 lb (34 kg). Never use a stand that tilts the printer.

❏Keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture or dust; or places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity, or shocks and vibrations.

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

❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the power cord.

Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.

❏Position the power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with paper feeding.

❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers, or outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause voltage fluctuations. Power interruptions can erase your printer or computer memory.

❏Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.❏Do not block, cover, or insert objects into openings in the printer cabinet.
