Choosing a Place for the Printer

Place the printer on a. flat, hard, stable surface. A soft surface, such as a carpeted area, blocks the ventilation slots and may cause overheating.

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

Use a grounded outlet with three holes to match the plug on the printer. Do not use an adapter plug.

WARNING:

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

•Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Power interruptions can wipe out information in your computer memory and in your printer memory.

•Avoid using outlets that share a circuit with large motors or other appliances that might disturb the power supply.

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