Site requirements
The following environmental specifications must be maintained to ensure the correct operation of the
printer. Consider the following points before installing the printer:
■ Install in a well-ventilated, dust-free area.
■ Install on a hard, flat, continuous surface, with all four printer feet level. Do not install on carpet or
other soft surfaces.
■ Make sure that adequate power is supplied. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) are not
recommended.
■ Install where temperature and humidity are stable, away from water sources, humidifiers, air
conditioners, refrigerators, or other major appliances. See
Operating environment for
temperature and humidity ranges.
■ Install away from direct sunlight, open flames, or ammonia fumes. If the printer is placed near a
window, make sure that the window has a curtain or blind to block direct sunlight.
■ Install with enough space around the printer for access and ventilation.
■ Install away from the direct flow of exhaust from air-ventilation systems.
Install the printer with enough space around it to open trays and bins, install print cartridges, and
perform maintenance. The printer needs 101 mm (4 inches) of ventilation space on the left side (fan
side) and at the rear of the printer.
