Note the following important precautions when selecting a location
for the printer and when connecting it to a power source.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
A proper location helps to ensure that your printer provides you with
the long service life for which it is designed. Double-check to make
sure that the location you select has the following characteristics.
✓Choose a location that is well-ventilated.
✓Make sure there is no chance of ammonia or other organic gasses
being generated in the area.
✓The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be
nearby and unobstructed.
✓Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
✓Avoid areas in the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or
ventilators, and areas subjected to temperature and humidity
extremes.
✓Choose a sturdy, level surface where the printer will not be
exposed to strong vibration.
✓Keep the printer away from any objects that might block its heat
vents.
✓Do not locate the printer near curtains or other combustible
objects.
✓Choose an area where there is no possibility of the printer being
splashed with water or other liquids.
✓Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of
dust.
