Choosing a
Location for
Your Printer
Important
Safety Notes
Follow these guidelines and safety precautions when
selecting a location for your printer.
•Place the printer on a table or other stable, level
surface within the parallel cable's length (10 feet
maximum) of your computer.
•Allow for adequate space. The DA300 is 14.7 inches
high, 16.2 inches wide and 21.7 inches deep, without
the wire frame input stacker.
•Allow for adequate ventilation around the base and
rear of the printer.
•Protect the printer from heat, dust and moisture.
Avoid placing the printer in direct sunlight.
•To protect against electric shock, plug the machine
into a properly grounded wall outlet. DO NOT use an
adapter plug. Use of an adapter could compromise
the ground and cause a possible shock hazard or
damage to the equipment in the event of a short
circuit.
• DO NOT remove the ground pin from the line cord.
•Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches.
Someone could accidently shut your printer off.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of
disconnecting the machine from the AC power. The
wall outlet should be near the machine and easily
accessible.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or
trap it between pieces of furniture.
• Insure that there is no strain on the power cord
where it passes between the equipment, walls or
furniture.
•Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle into
which the machine is plugged is free from obstruction

Operating Guide
•Do not remove covers. The machine covers serve
to enclose hazardous parts. If the machine has been
dropped or has otherwise had the covers stressed
in any way, report it to your Pitney Bowes Customer
Service Representative.
•To reduce the risk of fire and/or electrical shock, do
not attempt to disassemble this machine. If service
is required, contact your Pitney Bowes Customer
Service Representative.
•Keep fingers, loose clothing, jewelry and long hair
away from the moving parts.
•Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplied ink
cartridges and cleaners. Read all instructions before
attempting to operate the equipment.
In addition, follow any specific occupational safety and
health standards for your workplace or area.

control panel menus. If you set up a print job from your
computer, however, you can use any font that is available
from your software application.
