Site Location
The site that you select for your new printer must meet the specifications and
conditions shown on the following pages.
Place your printer so that the printer is not affected by electrostatic discharges,
which can cause discomfort to persons. Such discharges also can cause problems
with the printer operation or the machines to which the printer connects. Avoid the
factors that cause the buildup of electrostatic charges, such as:
v Floor surfaces with low resistance to electrical charges
v Carpeting without antistatic properties
v Plastic seat coverings
v Metal-frame furniture
v Low-humidity environment
If the printer is set up on a raised floor, you should remember that the power cord
and the signal cable exit from the rear of the printer at the base.
For reliable forms feeding, IBM recommends a printer stand or table that is
approximately 381 mm (15 in.) deep, at least 762 mm (30 in.) wide, and 762 mm
(30 in.) high. The shelf should be approximately 381 mm (15 in.) from the floor. If
you use a table outside this range, you reduce efficiency or stability, and thus may
have to monitor printer operation.
Notes:
1. An optional printer stand is available for your 4247 Printer. For more information
on this printer stand, see “Optional Printer Stand” on page 32 or contact your
IBM marketing representative.
