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.
