Choosing a Place for the Printer
Note: If you plan to use a printer stand, make sure it meets the following requirements:
•
•
The stand must support at least 35 lb or 16 kg (twice the weight of the printer).
The stand must not tilt the printer more than 15 degrees from horizontal. With a cut sheet feeder, the stand must keep the printer level.
•If the paper supply is below the printer stand, make sure that the paper cannot catch on the underside of the stand or on the stand supports.
•Make sure that the power cord and the interface cable do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure them to a printer stand support.
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 disruption of power can wipe out information both in your computer’s memory and in 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.
