Choose a Location for the Printer
Choose a location for the printer that is near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also keep the printer away from
direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
Make sure to place the printer on a flat, stable surface with enough space on all sides (see illustrations
below). The area supporting the printer should be wider than the space between the rubber feet on the
bottom of the printer, at least 2 feet (60 cm) off the ground, and capable of supporting at least 220
