Installation and Setup

Selecting a Location for the Printer

1.Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10° through 32°C (50°–90°F), and relative humidity from 15 through 85%.

Note: Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold room can cause condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image transfer.

2.Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength for the weight of the printer. The printer must be horizontal with all four feet in solid contact with the surface. The printer weight, without the options or paper, is 19.8 Kg (43.6 lb.). With the 250-sheet feeder, the duplex unit, and supplies, the weight is 24.2 Kg (53.2 lb.).

3.Ensure that your printer has the proper amount of clearance for all of its features, including any options you purchased. See the following measurements.

The recommended minimal spacing for the printer includes the following:

Requirement

Clearance

 

 

Overhead Clearance

200 mm (7.9 in.) above the printer for clearance when opening the front

 

door

 

 

Height Requirement

Printer: 416.1 mm (16.4 in.)

 

Printer with 250-sheet feeder: 523 mm (20.6 in.)

 

 

Other Clearances

100 mm (3.9 in.) behind the printer

 

600 mm (23.6 in.) in front of the printer

 

100 mm (3.9 in.) on the left side of the printer

 

250 mm (9.8 in.) on the right side of the printer

 

 

4.After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and computer or network. Go to the next section, Connecting the Printer on page 30.
