Choosing a Place for the Printer

When selecting a location for your printer, follow these
guidelines:
Place the printer on a flat, horizontal, stable surface. If the
printer is tilted or at an angle, it cannot operate properly.
Place the printer close enough to the computer for the
interface cable to reach it easily.
Leave adequate room for easy operation and maintenance.
Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid
changes in temperature and humidity. Also keep it away
from direct sunlight, strong light sources, or heat
generating devices.
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
Place the printer where you can easily unplug the power
cord.
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers. Also, avoid outlets on the same circuit as
large motors or other appliances that can cause fluctuations
in line voltage.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential
sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:
kept level.
secure them to a leg of the stand if possible.
