General information
The site that you select for your new printer must meet the specifications and
conditions shown on the following pages.
As you consider the location and surrounding environment for your printer, avoid
factors that can create a buildup of an electrostatic charge on the printer. While not
harmful, an electrostatic discharge can cause discomfort to persons. Such
discharges also can cause problems with printer operation or to the machines to
which the printer connects. Some factors to avoid that can cause an electrostatic
charge to build are:
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 may need to provide and access area
for the cord and cables that exit at the rear of the printer.
For reliable form feeding and forms handling, We recommend a printer stand or
table. We offer an optional printer stand for the 4247 Printer. For more information
on this printer stand, contact your marketing representative. For additional
information on stacking, see “Proper forms loading” on page 146.
