Site Requirements Operating Environment The electrical and environmental specifications listed in “Specifications” (page 5) must be maintained to ensure the proper operation of this printer. Consider the following points before installing the printer: • Install in a well-ventilated, dust-free area. • Install on a level, flat, and continuous surface which can support the printer’s weight. Make sure all four printer feet are level. Do not install on carpet or other soft surfaces. • Ensure adequate power supply circuitry. Electrical specifications are listed in “Specifications” (page 5).
• Install where there is stable temperature and humidity, with no abrupt changes (away from water sources, humidifiers, air conditioners, refrigerators, or other major appliances). Environmental specifications are listed in “Specifications” (page 5). • Install away from direct sunlight, areas with vibration, open flames, ultrasonic heaters, ammonia fumes, or magnets and devices that emit a magnetic field. If the printer is placed near a window, make sure the window has a curtain or blind to block any direct sunlight. • Maintain enough space around the printer for proper access and ventilation. See “Printer Space Requirements” (page 27) for more information.
