Choosing a Place for the Printer

When selecting a place to set up your printer, be sure to follow the
guidelines below.
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.
l
Place the printer close enough to the computer for the printer's
l
interface cable to reach it.
Leave adequate room around the printer to allow for easy
l
operation and maintenance.
CAUTION: Avoid locations that are subject to direct
sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
Use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
l
Place the printer where you can easily unplug the power cord.
l
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic
l
timers. Accidental disruption of power can wipe out information
in the memory of your printer or computer.
Avoid outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other
l
appliances that can cause fluctuations in line voltage.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of
l
electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base
units of cordless telephones.
