In addition to space considerations, always heed the following precautions when finding a place to locate the printer:

  • Place the printer near an electrical outlet where you can easily plug in and unplug the power cord.

  • Do not put your printer where the cord will be stepped on.

  • Do not use printer in a damp environment.

  • Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, oil vapor, or dust.

  • Avoid locations that are subject to the air coming directly from an air conditioner.

  • Do not place the printer on an unstable surface.

  • Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover them. Do not put the printer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface or in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

  • Keep the entire computer and printer system away from potential sources of interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

  • Leave adequate room around the printer to allow for sufficient ventilation.
