INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE > 11
PREPARING A LOCATION FOR THE PRINTER
Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand the
machine weight – 20.4 kg (45lb) (B6200) or 22.6 kg (50lb) (B6300). If
tilted, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The printer has ventilation holes on the side and rear panels. Ensure
that the printer is installed with a minimum clearance of 255mm
(10in) from the rear vent to any wall, 200mm (8in) from the left vent to
any wall, and 300mm (12in) from the right vent to any wall. A poorly
ventilated machine can cause excessive internal heat and fire. The
following diagram shows the minimum clearances required for
normal operation, consumables replacement, and maintenance to
ensure your machine operates at peak performance.

ENVIRONMENT
Ensure that the installation location meets the following conditions:
lDo not place the printer in a hot, humid, dusty or poorly
ventilated environment. Prolonged exposure to such adverse
conditions can result in fire or electric shock.
INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE > 12
lTemperature range 10 – 32 °C, humidity range 15 – 85% (no
condensation). Humidity should be 70% or below at 32 °C,
and temperature should be 28 °C or below at 85% humidity.
NOTE
Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid
heating of a cold room or moving the printer from a location with low
humidity/temperature to high humidity/temperature can cause
condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image
transfer. When condensation occurs, leave the printer for at least 1
hour to acclimatise to the environment before using it.
lDo not expose the printer to direct sunlight.
lDo not expose the printer to the direct draught of air-
conditioning or heating.

INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER
To print from the computer, install the printer driver and other
required software.
The installation procedure(s) you will use for your printer vary
according to operating system, usage of the USB port, and network
connection.
A brief outline of installing drivers on Windows and Macintosh
operating systems is given below. Solaris, Linux and HP-UX are dealt
with in other parts of your documentation.
MICROSOFT WINDOWS SYSTEMS
With Windows running, insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM
1.
drive.
If the CD-ROM does not run automatically, use [Start – Run...]
2.
and enter E:\setup (where E is your CD-ROM drive) in the Open
field.
Click on OK.
3.
Click on [Driver Installation] and then [Install Printer Driver]
4.

The printer is considered a “self-powered” device and as such may be
plugged into any available USB port on the Macintosh, including the
one on the keyboard.

4.
the Apple LaserWriter Software).
INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE > 48

1.
Double-click the CD icon.
