Choosing a Place for the PrinterThe illustration below shows a good printer location.Note: Before using a printer stand, read these requirements and suggestions.

The stand should be able to support at least twice the weight of the LQ-1010printer, or approximately 36 pounds (16 kilograms).

Never use a stand that supports the printer at an angle of more than 15 degrees from horizontal.

With a cut sheet feeder, your printer must be kept level.

If your paper supply is positioned below the printer stand, make sure there is enough clearance to keep the paper from catching on the underside of the stand. Also, make sure the distance between the stand supports is wide enough for the paper you are using.

Position your printer’s cables so that they do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure the cables to the printer stand.
