1. Printer Setup

This chapter contains important information on setting up your printer. Be sure

to read this chapter carefully before using the printer for the first time.

Choosing a place for the printer

Before unpacking the printer from the box, plan the installation location

of your printer. Consider the following points.

✓Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to

vibr ation.

✓The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby

and unobstructed.

✓Make sure that the printer is close enough to your computer for you

to connect the two with your printer cable.

✓Allow six inches (15 centimeters) of free space on either side and in

the back of the printer.

✓Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.

✓Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters.

✓Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.

✓Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It

should not be on the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or

other appliances that cause power spikes.

✓Use a power outlet that matches the power rating noted on the label

affixed to the bottom of your printer.

✓Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too

humid.
