Choosing a Place for the Printer

When selecting a place to set up your printer, keep the following in mind:

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.

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

Leave adequate room around the printer to allow for easy operation and maintenance.

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

,

Use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter plug.

Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental disruption of power can wipe out information in the memory of your computer or your printer.

Avoid outlets on the same circuit with large motors or other appliances that might cause fluctuations in line voltage.

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