Positioning the Printer
Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements:
Clearance
Be sure to secure enough space
around the printer. Prolonged
use without sufficient clearance
may cause heat to build up
within the printer, resulting in
fire.
Environment
Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the rec-
ommended range. Print quality may suffer and there will be an increased
chance of paper jams.
Places to Avoid
Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to:
• Direct drafts of hot or cold air
• Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near building entrances.)
• Sudden temperature or humidity changes
• Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators
•Excessivedust
•Vibration
• Unstable surfaces and surfaces that are not level
• Ammonia or other harmful fumes (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or
make liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!)
• Excessive sunlight or humidity
• Lack of ventilation
• Low air pressure, e.g., elevations greater than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above
sea level
Te m p e r a tu r e 10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), ideally about 23 °C (73.4 °F)
Humidity 20 to 80 %, ideally 60 %
