LOCATING THE PRINTER

Give some thought to the best place to put the printer. Both the printer and computer should be used in a normal indoor environment. For best performance, we recommend:

•Place the printer on a flat surface.

a Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat-producing appliances.

•Use it only in temperatures where you are comfortable.

•Avoid locations with dust, grease, or high humidity.

•Supply it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the same circuit as a large, noise-producing appliance such as a refrigerator.

•Make sure the line voltage is within 10% of the voltage specified on the identitication plate.

•If you will be using fanfold forms, place the printer where the forms can feed up to it from below, with at least a full page hanging free.
