Choosing a place for the printer
When selecting a place to set up your printer, choose a safe,
convenient location that provides the following:
❏A flat, stable surface
❏Adequate room around the printer to allow easy operation
and maintenance. Make sure it’s close enough to the computer
for the printer cable to reach.
❏Place the printer where you can easily unplug the power cord.
❏Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area
and protect your printer from direct sunlight, excessive heat,
moisture, or dust.
❏Appropriate power source. Make sure you use a grounded
outlet; do not use an adapter plug. Avoid electrical outlets
controlled by timers or wall switches; an interruption in
power can wipe out the information in your computer or
printer memory.
If you place the printer on a stand, follow these guidelines:
❏Use a stand that supports at least 10 kg (22 lb).
❏Never use a stand that tilts the printer. Always keep it level.
❏Provide enough clearance below the stand and between the
legs so your continuous paper flows smoothly.
❏Place cables so they do not interfere with paper feeding;
secure them to a leg of the stand if possible.
