Note:

If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:

l

Use a stand that supports at least twice the weight of the

printer.

l

Never use a stand that tilts the printer at an angle of more

than 15 degrees from horizontal. If you install a cut-sheet

feeder, keep your printer absolutely level.

l

If you position the paper supply below the printer stand,

make sure that you allow enough clearance (1.2 inches or

30 mm) between the underside of the stand and the top of
the

paper supply to keep the paper from catching on the

underside of the stand. Also check that the distance between

the stand’s supports is at least 280 mm (11 inches), to

accommodate any paper size you may use.

l

Position your printer’s power cord and interface cable so that

they do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure

the cables to the printer stand.

l

Align the paper stack with the tractor sprocket units, so that

the paper has a straight path into the printer.
