Location
Make sure there is sufficient space around the printer.
Warnings
• Never place items on the printer. If such items were to fall on the printer, this could cause a
fire, electrical shock, or damage to the printer.
• To avoid causing a fire, never store flammable substances like alcohol, thinner, etc. near the
printer.
Cautions
Avoid using the printer in the following types of locations.
• Where the printer is exposed to open air or high humidity. This could cause a fire, serious
electrical shock, or damage to the printer. Also, if the printer is moved into a warm room on a
cold day, this could cause condensation inside the printer. If this happens, allow the printer to
sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature to adapt to the ambient temperature and humidity.
• Never position the printer on a slanted or unstable surface. If the printer is dropped or slides
off, this could cause personal injury. Also, never place a heavy object on top of the printer. If
the object is dropped or falls, this could cause injury.
• Never expose the printer to open air or dust. This could cause a fire, serious electrical shock,
or damage to the printer. Also, never locate the printer near a water faucet or in any other
location where it will be exposed to water. This could cause serious electrical shock.
• Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to high humidity or large amounts of dust,
or exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. This could cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• Use the printer in an environment where temperature and humidity are within the ranges of
59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C) and 20 to 80% RH (with no condensation).
• To ensure normal operation of the printer and avoid possible damage, never install the printer
near large office equipment or any other type of electrical device that emits a strong magnetic
field.
• Never block the ventilation ports on the printer. A blocked ventilation port could cause heat to
build up inside the printer and cause a fire. Also, place the printer in an area where you can
disconnect the power cord immediately; keep the area around the power cord connection free
of obstacles. This allows you to unplug the power cord quickly in an emergency.
