Choosing a Place for the Printer

There are several important things to consider when selecting a location for your printer. Make sure to keep the following in mind.

•Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.

•Place the printer close enough to the computer for its 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 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 in your computer’s and 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.
