Choosing a place for the printer

Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think about where you plan to use it. Remember the following points when doing this.

Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to vibration.

The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby and unobstructed.

Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for you to connect the two.

Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources of extreme heat.

Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.

Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It should not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or other appliances that cause power spikes.

Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.
