Select a Site

Select a location for the printer that conforms to the following requirements:
The location has a power source that conforms to the requirements specified on
page 2–2.
The location is within the maximum cable length specifications for the host
computer interface.
The temperature range is +50 F to +85 F (10 C to 30 C), with a humidity range
of 30 to 80%. There are no sudden changes in temperature or humidity, and the
printer is positioned away from air drafts caused by heating or air conditioning
ducts.
The location must allow 36 inches of space on all sides of the printer.
Install the printer on a stable horizontal surface. The slope of the floor must not
exceed one degree.
The printer should not be exposed to direct sunlight or hot lighting equipment.
This may cause an abnormal temperature rise in the printer and adversely affect
its operation. Shade or screen the printer from such exposure.
Do not position the printer near water faucets, water heaters, or refrigerators.
Also avoid dusty locations.
Do not position the printer near combustibles.
Do not expose the printer to any corrosive gases or vapors.
Do not install the printer in an area subject to heavy vibrations.
Ozone is generated inside the printer. Although the printer contains an ozone
filter, the printer should be installed in a room that provides adequate ventilation.
(The room should be at least 1,000 cubic feet with complete air exchange every
two hours.)
Lateral openings in the printer are provided for ventilation. To prevent printer
overheating, make sure that these openings are not covered.
Printer dimensions are illustrated on the following pages.
