Setting up the hardware
This section shows the steps to set up the hardware which is explained

complete following steps.
1Select a stable location.
Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation.
Allow extra space to open covers and trays.
The area should be well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight or
sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to
the edge of your desk or table.
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to
the altitude setting to optimize your printing. See page 3.4 for more
information.
Place the machine on a flat and stable surface for not letting it tilt
more than 2 mm (0.08 inches). Otherwise, it may affect the printing
quality.

down. Otherwise, the inside of the machine may be
contaminated by toner, which can cause damage to the
machine or bad printing quality.
