Installation Precautions
Before unpacking your laser printer, it is recommended that you read the following to assist locat-
ing a suitable spot for your new laser printer. To make optimum use of the printer, observe the fol-
lowing precautions when locating the printer.
Environment
Place the printer on a horizontal, sturdy and stable surface. The printer weighs about 106 lbs.
(48 kg) and may cause injury if it falls over.
Always place the printer under the following conditions:
Temperature: 50º to 95º F (10 to 35º C)
Humidity: 15 to 85% (non-condensation)
Be sure to keep the temperature to below 82º F (28º C) if the humidity is 85%
If the temperature changes drastically from a cold environment to a warm environment, con-
densation may develop inside the printer and cause print problems. Therefore, be sure to let
the printer rest for some time to adjust to the new temperature.
Do not subject the printer to direct sunlight or a malfunction may result.
Do not place the printer in a location with high temperature and humidity, poor ventilation,
or high level of dust, otherwise a fire hazard or electric shock may result.
Do not place the printer near heaters or similar objects, otherwise a fire hazard may result.
Never block the ventilation openings of the printer, otherwise the internal temperature will
build up and cause a fire hazard.
Do not place the printer near alcohol, benzine, or other volatile and flammable materials, or a
fire hazard may result.
Space requirements
WARNING: The installation surface must be stable and very sturdy to support the consider-
able weight of the printer. If the printer falls over, there is a severe risk of injuries.
CAUTION: Be sure to leave ample space between the ventilation openings on the printer
and the nearest wall or other surface, othe rwise overheating may occur leading to a fire
hazard. For easy operation, maintenance and replacing of consumables, you should also
leave the clearances shown below around the printer. Installation of the printer should be
carried out by qualified service personnel.
