Select a Location for the Printer

The printer and media must be situated in a clean and safe area with moderate ambient temperatures to ensure 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 weight of the printer when it has a full roll of media loaded.
Space
The area where the printer will be located must include enough space to easily open the printer for media loading and routine cleaning, and for accessibility to power sources and wired connectivity as needed.
To allow for proper ventilation and cooling, leave open space on all sides of the printer.
Do NOT use any padding or cushioning material under or around the base of the printer. It will restrict air flow and could cause the printer to overheat.
Power
Place the printer close to an easily accessible power outlet.
Data communication interfaces
Make sure that printer cabling as also Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radios do not exceed the maximum distance from the printer as 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. The temperature and relative humidity requirements for the printer are as follows:
  • Operational requirements
    • Temperature: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
    • Humidity: 20% to 85% non-condensing
  • Non-operational requirements (such as when not in use and in storage)
    • Temperature:-40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
    • Humidity: 5% to 85% non-condensing
