Choosing a Place for the Printer
There are several important things to consider when selecting a
location for your printer.
Make sure to keep the following in
mind.
l
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.
l
Place the printer close enough to the computer for its cable
to reach.
l
Leave adequate room around the printer to allow easy
printer operation and maintenance.
l
Use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
WARNING:
l Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, moisture or dust.
l Avoid using electrical outlets that are controlled by
wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental
disruption of power can wipe out information in your
computer’s and printer’s memory.
l Avoid using outlets on the same circuit with large
motors or other appliances that might disturb the
power supply.
l Keep the entire computer system away from
potential sources of interference such as loudspeakers
or the base units of cordless telephones.
