Setting Up Your Printer

3 Select a location for the printer:

Leave enough room to open the tray and covers, and to allow for proper ventilation.

Provide the proper environment:

-A firm, level surface

-Away from the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or ventilators

-Free of temperature, sunlight, and humidity extremes or fluctuations

-Clean, dry, and free of dust

CAUTION:

You must place your printer on a level surface. If you do not, print quality problems can occur.

When you move the printer, do not tilt or turn it upside down, or the inside of the printer may be contaminated by toner, which can cause damage to the printer or bad printing quality.
