Positioning the Printer
Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements:
Clearance
30 cm
(11-13/16 inches)
60 cm
(23-5/8 inches)
30 cm (11-13/16 inches)
20 cm (7-7/8 inches)
[40 cm (15-3/4 inches) when the option face-up output tray is installed]
|
Be sure to secure enough space |
|
|
around the printer. Prolonged |
|
|
use without sufficient clearance |
|
25 cm |
may cause heat to build up |
|
within the printer, resulting in |
||
(9-7/8 |
||
fire. |
||
inches) |
Environment
Temperature |
10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), ideally about 23 °C (73.4 °F) |
|
|
Humidity |
20 to 80 %, ideally 60 % |
|
|
Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the recommended 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
•Excessive dust
•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
