Placing the Printer 

Place the printer on a solid, flat, stable surface; ensuring that the printer is positioned in such a way that it 

cannot move, and that there is easy access to the control panel and paper input devices. Also ensure that there 

is enough space for sufficient ventilation and for the printed output. 

When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional instructions: 



  Never place the printer near to any flammable gas or explosive substances. 



  Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the printer near a window, protect it 

from the sunlight with a curtain. 



  When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure the maximum recommended cable length is not 

exceeded. 



  Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices/radiators. 



  Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Avoid exposure to dusty 

environments. 



  It is recommended the printer is installed in a position which reduces noise exposure to the work place 

during printing.
