Select a Location for the Printer
The printer and media need a clean safe area with moderate temperatures to have optimal print
operations.
Select a location for the printer that meets these conditions:
• Surface: The surface where the printer will be located must be solid, level, and of sufficient size and
strength to hold the printer with media.
• Space: The area where the printer will be located must include enough space for opening the printer
(media access and cleaning), and for printer access to connectivity and power cords. To allow for
proper ventilation and cooling, leave open space on all sides of the printer.
•
Important • Do not place any padding or cushioning material under or around the base of the printer because this
restricts air flow and could cause the printer to overheat.
Power: Put the printer close to an easily accessible
power outlet.
• Data communication interfaces: Please ensure that cabling and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radios do not
exceed the maximum distance specified by the communication protocol standard or product data sheet
for this printer. Radio signal strength can be reduced by physical barriers (objects, walls, etc.).
Data cables should not be routed with or near power cords or conduits, fluorescent lighting,
transformers, microwave ovens, motors or other sources of electrical noise and interference. These
interference sources may cause problems with communications, host system operation, and printer
functionality.
• Operating conditions: Your printer is designed to function in a wide range of environments. Table 1
shows the temperature and relative humidity requirements for the printer.
