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.

Place the printer where you can easily connect it to a network interface cable, if necessary.

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.

Note for French-speaking users:

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

Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. An interruption in 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.

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