Operating the printer

Setting up your printer

2-3

Placing the printer

Place the printer on a solid, flat, surface, ensuring that the printer is positioned in such a
way that it can not topple, and that there is easy access to the control panel and paper input
devices.

Also ensure that there is enough space for sufficient ventilation and for the printed output.

When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional instructions:

Never place the printer in the vicinity of inflammable gas or explosive

substances.

•

Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the printer near
a window, protect it from the sunlight with a curtain.

•

When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure not to exceed the maximum
cable length (see

“Interfaces” on page B-1

•

Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices/radiators.

•

Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Above
all take care to avoid the influence of dust.

•

It is recommended to install the printer in a place which is acoustically isolated from the
workplace because of the noise it may produce.
