Choosing a Place for the Printer
Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your printer.
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it
is tilted or at an angle.
Leave adequate room around the printer for easy operation and maintenance.
Avoid using or 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.
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. An
interruption of 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.
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.
Make sure the paper path is clear and unobstructed before you print on continuous
paper.
Position your printer's power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with
paper feeding.
If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:
Use a stand that supports at least 20 kg.
Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should always be kept level.
If possible, secure the printer's power cord and interface cable to a leg of the printer
stand so they do not interfere with paper feeding.
