1-4 Environmental requirements
1-4-1 Environmental conditions
The Environmental requirements section on page 1-5 should be observed to ensure the optimum
operation of the printer. The use of the printer in a location which does not satisfy the requirements
may result in troubles and risk shortening its service life.
The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is:
• Level and well supported (Place the printer on a table or desk.)
• Not exposed to sunlight or other bright light (not next to an uncurtained window). Do not place
the printer on an unstable cart, stand or table.
• Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone. The outlet should
have a ground slot, or an adapter should be used. If you use an extension cord, the total length of
the power cord plus extension cord should be 17 feet or 5 meters or less.
• Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry (See section Environmental
requirements on page 1-5). If you install the printer where the temperature or humidity is outside
the requirements in section Environmental requirements in chapter 1, the best print quality may
not be expected and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.
• Provide a sufficient clearances around the printer to ensure ventilation and ease of access. (See
section Clearance on next page).
