Finding a Place for the Printer
Before unpacking the printer, you need to find a suitable place to use
it. Follow these guidelines:
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.
Place the printer close enough to the computer or workstation for
its cable to reach.
Use a grounded outlet that has three holes to match the plug on
the printer’s power cord. Do not use an adapter plug.
When you use the printer’s standard parallel interface, make
sure you have a shielded twisted-pair parallel cable less than
3 m (10 ft) in length.
Leave adequate room around the printer to allow easy printer
operation and maintenance. The diagram below shows the
amount of space recommended.
To give you enough room to open the printer cover, allow
335 mm (13.5 inches) from the bottom of the printer to any shelf
or surface directly above the printer, as shown on the next page.
