Selecting Your Printer’s Location
Your QMS 860 Print System operates in almost any computing
environment. However, when selecting your printer’s location, use
the guidelines in the “Location Requirements” and “Power
Requirements” sections of this chapter.
Location Requirements
Your printer’s locations should
■ Be away from cooling sources, heating sources, extreme
temperature changes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, and
corrosive chemicals or vapors.
■ Be away from any strong electromagnetic field (such as
that created by an air conditioner) and excessive vibration.
■
Have a temperature range of 50° F (10° C) to 90° F
(32.5° C).
■ Have a relative humidity range of 20% to 80%.
■ Be level and capable of supporting the printer weight,
which is about 50 lbs (22.68 kg) for the printer only.
■ Be located an appropriate distance from the host computer,
based on your operating environment—6 feet (1.8 meters)
or less for parallel connection or 25 feet (7.5 meters) or
less for a serial connection.
■ Be well ventilated. Leave space on each side of the printer
for adequate ventilation.
