Choosing a Place for the Printer
There are several important things to consider when selecting the
place to set up your printer. Be 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 the printer
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.
B
WARNING: Avoid locations that are subject to direct
sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
l Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers. Accidental interruption of power can wipe
out information in your computer’s and printer’s memory.
I
l Avoid outlets on the same circuit with large motors or electrical
appliances that might cause fluctuations in line voltage.
l Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources
of electromagnetic interference such as loudspeakers or the base
units of cordless telephones.
