Choosing a Place for the Printer
❏
Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heat source.
❏
Do not block or cover the slots and openings in the printer's cabinet, and do not insert
objects through the slots.
❏
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted
or placed at an angle.
❏
Place the printer where you can easily connect it to a network interface cable, if
necessary.
❏ Leave adequate room around the printer for easy operation and maintenance.
❏
Avoid using storing the printer in places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture
or dust.
❏
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏
Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the power cord.
❏
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic
interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
❏
Avoid electrical outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. An interruption in
power can erase information in the memory of your printer or computer. Also avoid outlets
on the same circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause voltage
fluctuations.
❏
Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
❏
If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:
• Use a stand that can support at least 34 kg (74 lb).
• Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should always be
kept level.
Position your printer's power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with paper
feeding. If possible, secure the cables to a leg of the printer stand.
