Choosing a Place for the Printer
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.
