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

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)
■Printer Depth (front to back): 18.3 in (465 mm)
Installation Space
Ensure that the printer has enough installation space as shown in the diagrams.

machine is installed with a minimum clearance of 255 mm from the rear vent to the wall, 200 mm
from the left vent to the wall, and 300 mm from the right vent to the wall. A poorly ventilated
machine can cause excessive internal heat and fire. The accompanying diagram shows the minimum clearances required for normal operation, consumables replacement, and maintenance to
ensure your machine operates at peak performance.

to firmly grip the recessed areas provided on both sides of the printer. Never try to lift the
printer by gripping any other areas. Lifting the printer by gripping any other areas can
cause the printer to fall and result in injuries.
35PPM Laser Printer User Guide 1-7
Carrying the Printer
NOTE:When lifting the printer, get a firm footing and bend your knees to avoid possible injuries to
your back.
Carry the printer without tilting it.
CAUTION: When moving the machine, do not tilt it more than 10 degrees. If tilted excessively,
the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
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.
