Site requirements

The following environmental specifications must be maintained to ensure the correct operation of the printer. Consider the following points before installing the printer:

● Install in a well-ventilated, dust-free area.

● Install on a hard, flat, continuous surface, with all four printer feet level. Do not install

on carpet or other soft surfaces.

● Make sure that adequate power is supplied. Printer circuit requirements are listed in

table 4 on page 8. Uninterruptable power supplies (UPSs) are not recommended.

● Install where temperature and humidity are stable, away from water sources,

humidifiers, air conditioners, refrigerators, or other major appliances. See table 6 on page 8 for temperature and humidity ranges.

● Install away from direct sunlight, open flames, or ammonia fumes. If the printer is

placed near a window, make sure the window has a curtain or blind to block direct sunlight.

● Install with enough space around the printer for access and ventilation.

● Install away from the direct flow of exhaust from air ventilation systems.

Printer specifications

Install the printer with enough space around it to open trays and bins, install toner, and perform maintenance. The printer needs 101 mm (4 inches) of ventilation space on the left side (fan side) and at the rear of the printer.
