Positioning the Printer
About this Chapter
This chapter describes how to select an appropriate installation location, what accessories are
provided with the printer, and the installation procedures required once you have chosen a loca-
tion for your printer.
Positioning the Printer
For safe and convenient printer operation, take time to read the information in this section when
deciding where to place your printer.
Installation Environment
Place the printer in a location that meets the following conditions:
• Level and stable surface.
• Well ventilated.
• Temperature range of 50-90˚F (10-32˚C), relative humidity 15-85% (no condensation).
• If you use the printer at an ambient temperature of 90˚F (32˚C), the relative humidity
should not exceed 65%. If the relative humidity reaches 85%, the ambient temperature
should not exceed 82˚F (28˚C).
NOTE: Do not position the printer in a room where there are sudden temperature fluctuations. Do not move
the printer from a cool, dry location to a warm, humid location. Sudden temperature fluctuations
can cause water droplets (condensation) to form inside the printer and cause the print quality to
deteriorate. If condensation occurs, allow at least one hour for the printer to adapt to the new
environment before use.
Connect the printer to its own AC outlet
Do not plug any other equipment into the printer’s AC outlet, especially high-current equipment
such as copiers or air conditioners. Electrical noise and voltage fluctuations from other equip-
ment plugged into the same outlet can cause computing errors and data loss.
Avoid exposing the printer to:
• Direct sunlight
• Air conditioners or heaters
• Windy locations
• Surfaces subject to vibration
• Dusty or dirty places
• Open flames
• Humidity
• Magnetic fields
• Wide ranging temperature and humidity fluctuations
WARNING: Connect the power plug to an AC outlet with the same voltage as the printer (110
or 220V), and rated for at least 15A. No other devices should be plugged into this AC outlet, as
overheating could cause fire or electrical shock.
