Positioning the Printer
Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements:
Clearance
30 cm (11-13/16 inches)
20 cm (7-7/8 inches)
[40 cm (15-3/4 inches) when the option

25 cm
(9-7/8
inches)
Be sure to secure enough space
around the printer. Prolonged
use without sufficient clearance
may cause heat to build up
within the printer, resulting in
fire.
Te m p e r a t u r e
Humidity
Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the rec-
ommended range. Print quality may suffer and there will be an increased
chance of paper jams.
10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), ideally about 23 °C (73.4 °F)
20 to 80 %, ideally 60 %
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
