Choosing a Good Location
Follow these guidelines:
Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up.
Use the Printer's dimensions as a guideline for the minimum clearances to the unit. (Note:
Allow for adequate clearance above the unit to accommodate the height of the unit with its
Covers open.)
Do not install unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
About Moisture Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense inside the unit. Should this occur, print quality may not be optimum.
Leave the unit turned OFF in a warm, dry room for several hours before using. This will allow
the moisture to evaporate.
