Choosing a Place for the Printer
There are several important things to consider when selecting the place to set up your printer. Be sure to 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 easy printer operation and maintenance.
•Use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
WARNING: Avoid locations that are subject to direct I B sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
•Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental interruption of power can wipe out information in your computer’s and printer’s memory.
•Avoid outlets on the same circuit with large motors or electrical appliances that might cause fluctuations in line voltage.
•Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
