Installation Location

About this Chapter

This chapter reviews the contents of the printer packaging, explains the parts of the printer, and describes the space and environment requirements of the printer.
Installation Location
In order to make use of the printer safely and comfortably, choose an installation location with the following considerations.

Installation Environment

Suitable locations
CAUTION: Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand a weight of
20.6 kg. If tilted, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
Level and stable location (not tilted more than 5°)
Well-ventilated location
Temperature range: 10 to 32 °C; humidity range: 15 to 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 alone for at least 1 hour to acclimate to the environment before using it.
Using a power outlet exclusively for the printer
Use one power outlet exclusively for this printer. If the printer draws power from the same circuit as other large machines, such as copiers or air conditioners, the fluctuations in the current may cause malfunctions or a loss of data. Also, electrical noise produced by machines located nearby may interfere with the normal operation of the printer.
WARNING! Three power specifications are listed below. The specifications that apply to your printer depend on its configuration. Connect the power plug only to a properly rated power out­let. Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shocks. If in doubt, contact our Printer Support Desk. Rated voltage: 100 V Rated frequency: 50/60 Hz Rated voltage: 110 V Rated frequency: 60 Hz Rated voltage: 220 – 240 V Rated frequency: 50/60 Hz
Nov 06
35PPM Laser Printer User Guide 1-3

Safety Precautions

Unsuitable locations

Locations with direct exposure to sunlight
Locations close to cooling/heating appliances
Locations with direct exposure to drafts
Locations susceptible to vibrations
Dusty and dirty locations
Locations close to open flame
Damp locations
Locations exposed to magnetic forces
Locations susceptible to sudden changes in temperature or humidity

When using an ultrasonic humidifier

If tap water or well water is used in the ultrasonic humidifier, the impurities in the water will be released to the atmosphere and adhere to the internal parts of the printer, and this may cause dete­rioration in the print quality. Use only water that does not contain any impurities in the ultrasonic humidifier.
Safety Precautions
This printer is available in either of the following power specifications: 110V and 220V. The speci­fications that apply to your printer depend on your machine configuration. To prevent fire or shock hazards, connect the power plug only to a properly rated power outlet.

Handling the Printer

Follow the guidelines below when lifting or moving the printer:
The printer is very heavy, and should always be lifted by two people. The weight of the
printer without paper tray, toner cartridge, and paper is about 51 lbs (23 kg). Never attempt to lift the printer alone.
To lift the printer, have two individuals facing each other from the front and the rear of the
printer grasp the recessed areas on each side of the printer. Do not lift the printer by grasping any area other than these recessed areas.
When lifting the printer, maintain proper lifting posture to prevent injuries.

Printer Weight and Dimensions

This printer weighs approximately 51 lbs (23 kg) and should always be lifted by two people. The dimensions of the printer are listed below.
Printer Height: 15.9 in (404 mm)
Printer Width (left to right): 16.6 in (422 mm)

Carrying the Printer

When moving the printer to a place for installation, take note of the following points.
Hold the recessed areas on the left and right sides of the printer.
CAUTION: When lifting the printer, get a firm footing, bend your knees and use both your hands to avoid possible falls of the printer and injuries to your back.

Do not tilt the printer more than 10 degrees to the front/back or right/left. This might lead to a malfunction due to incidents such as consumables inside the printer spilling out.
NOTE: Rear side of the printer is heavier than the front.
The rear side of this printer is heavier than the front. Take note of this difference in weight when moving the printer.
