1-5  Installation Considerations
Printer operation can be affected by the printer environment.  The location of the
printer should be free from dust, humidity and sudden vibrations. To obtain optimum
results from the printer, avoid locations influenced by:

and may cause the label to be sensed incorrectly.
 Warm temperatures which can cause electrical problems within the printer. (See
Section 1-9, Environment.
