❏
plug. Do not use an adapter plug.
Leave adequate room around the printer to allow easy
❏
operation and maintenance and sufficient ventilation. The
diagram below shows the recommended amount of space.
If you install the optional lower paper cassette, you will
❏
need an additional 94 mm (3.7 inches) in height.
If you install both optional lower paper cassettes, you will
❏
need an additional 195 mm (7.7 inches) in height.

❏
cord.
Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
❏

Avoid using outlets on the same circuit with large motors
❏
