1. Printer Setup
This chapter contains important information on setting up your printer. Be sure
to read this chapter carefully before using the printer for the first time.
Choosing a place for the printer
Before unpacking the printer from the box, plan the installation location
of your printer. Consider the following points.
✓ Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to
vibr ation.
✓ The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby
and unobstructed.
✓ Make sure that the printer is close enough to your computer for you
to connect the two with your printer cable.
✓ Allow six inches (15 centimeters) of free space on either side and in
the back of the printer.
✓ Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
✓ Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters.
✓ Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
✓ Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It
should not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or
other appliances that cause power spikes.
✓ Use a power outlet that matches the power rating noted on the label
affixed to the bottom of your printer.
✓ Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too
humid.
