SETTING UP THE HARDWARE
This section shows the steps to set up the hardware, as is explained in the
Quick Install Guide. Make sure you read the Quick Install Guide first and
follow the steps below:
1. Select a stable location.
Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow
extra space to open covers and trays.
The area should be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight or
sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to the
edge of your desk or table.
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the
altitude setting to optimize your printing. (See "Altitude adjustment
(ML-2580 Series only)" on page 34.)
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface so that there is no incline
greater than 2 mm (0.08 inch). Otherwise, printing quality may be
affected.
2. Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3. Remove tape holding the machine securely.
