When Choosing A Place For The Printer - Epson Stylus Color 680 Use Manual

If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink
supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same
environment as the printer. Note that there is a valve in the
ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care
is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the
cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply
port or surrounding area.

When choosing a place for the printer

Observe the following:
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond
the printer base in all directions. The printer will not operate
properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
Leave enough space in front of the printer for paper to be fully
ejected.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight,
strong light, or heat sources.
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
Avoid places subject to dust.
Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient
ventilation.
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be
easily unplugged.
