Environmental requirements
Environmental requirements
Environmental conditions
The Environmental requirements section on page 1-6 should be observed to
ensure the optimum operation of the printer. The use of the printer in a location
which does not satisfy the requirements may result in troubles and risk
shortening its serv ice life.
The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is:
Level and well supported (Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk.)
Not exposed to sunlight or other bright light (not next to an uncurtained
window). Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone
(See section Power requirements on page 1-5). (The outlet should have a
ground slot, or an adapter should be used. If you use an extension cord, the
total length of the power cord plus extension cord should be 17 feet or 5
meters or less.
Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry (See section
Environmental requirements on page 1-6). If you install the printer where the
temperature or humidity is outside the requirements in section
Environmental requirements in chapter 1, the best print quality may not be
expected and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.
Provide a sufficient clearances around the printer to ensure ventilation and
ease of access. See section Clearance on page 1-15.)
