2. Installing the Printer and Options
This chapter explains how to set up, configure the printer for operation, and install the optional paper
feed unit for this printer.
Installing the Printer
This section describes how to install the printer and perform settings after installation.
Where to Put the Printer
The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its
performance.
• The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment only. Do not use with other appliances.
Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an electric
shock might occur.
• The wall outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily accessible.
• Connect the machine only to the power source described in this manual. Connect the power
cord directly into a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord. Do not damage, break or
make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard
nor bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.
• Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in
fire or electric shock.
17

• Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers
holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result
from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might
occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might
occur.
• Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the machine to topple over,
possibly resulting in injury.
• Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental conditions. Operating the
machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and
temperature can cause an electrical fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust.
Accumulated dust can become an electrical fire hazard.
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good
ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.
• Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal
components.
• Machine sound levels exceeding [Sound Power Level (Black and White)] > 63dB (A) are not
suitable for desk work environments, so place the machine in another room.
