Select a Site
Select a printer site that meets all of the following requirements:
• Permits complete opening of the printer cover and doors.
• For cabinet models, allows at least three feet of clearance behind
the printer. (This permits air to circulate freely around the printer
and provides access to the paper stacking area.)
• Has a standard power outlet that supplies 88-135 Volts AC or 178-
270 Volts AC power, at 47 to 63 Hz.
• Is relatively dust-free.
• Has a temperature range of 10° C to 40° C (50° F to 104° F), and a
relative humidity from 15% to 90% non-condensing.
• Is located within the maximum allowable cable length to the host
computer. This distance depends on the type of interface you plan
to use, as shown in
Table 2 .
