Finding a place for the printer
When relocating the printer, always choose a location that has 
adequate space for easy operation and maintenance. Use the 
following illustration as a guide for the amount of space required 
around the printer to ensure smooth operation. Dimensions 
shown in the illustrations below are in millimeters.
To install and use any of the following options, you will need the 
indicated amount of additional space.
 
						

							230Cleaning and Transporting the PrinterThe 550-Sheet Universal Paper Cassette Unit adds 95 mm (3.7 
in.) to the bottom of the printer. When two optional paper 
cassette units are installed, the printer requires 190 mm (7.4 
in.) more space beneath the printer.
The Duplex Unit adds 68.5 mm (2.7 in.) to the back of the 
printer.
In addition to space consideration, always heed the following 
precautions when finding a place to locate the printer:
❏Place the printer where you can easily unplug the power cord.
❏Keep the entire computer and printer system away from 
potential sources of interference, such as loudspeakers or the 
base units of cordless telephones.
❏Avoid using an electrical outlet that is controlled by wall 
switches or automatic timers. Accidental disruption of power 
can erase valuable information in your computer’s and 
printer’s memory.
c
Caution:
❏Leave adequate room around the printer to allow for sufficient 
ventilation.
❏Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive 
heat, moisture, or dust.
❏Avoid using outlets that other appliances are plugged into.
❏Use a grounded outlet that matches the printer’s power plug. 
Do not use an adapter plug.
❏Only use an outlet that meets the power requirements for this 
printer.
