Finding a Good Location
Your QMS 1725E Print System operates in almost any computing
environment. However, when selecting your printer’s location, use the
following guidelines.
Location Requirements
n Away from cooling sources, heating sources, extreme tempera-
ture changes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, and corrosive
chemicals or vapors.
n
Away from any strong electromagnetic field (such as that created
by an air conditioner) and excessive vibration.
n
Temperature range of 50° F (10° C) to 90° F (32.5°C).
n
Relative humidity range of 20% to 80%.
n
Level (with less than 2° slope) and capable of supporting the
printer weight, which is about 50 lbs (23 kg) for the printer only.
n An appropriate distance from the host computer, based on your
operating environment—6 feet (1.8 meters) or less for parallel
connection or 25 feet (7.5 meters) or less for a serial connection.
n
Well ventilated. Leave space on each side of the printer for ade-
quate ventilation.
