Installation and Setup Procedures
This section describes the setup and installation for the DTC5500LMX Card Printer.
2.1 Selecting a Good Location
The following guidelines help to ensure optimal printing performance:

Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.

Use the printer's dimensions as a guideline for the minimum clearances to the unit.
Note:
Allow for adequate clearance in front of the unit to accommodate the unit with its covers
open.

Do not install unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
2.1.1 About Moisture Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense inside the unit. Should this occur, print quality may not be optimal.
Leave the unit unplugged in a warm, dry room for several hours before using to evaporate any
moisture.
