Select a Location for the Printer

The printer and media need a clean and safe area with moderate temperatures for optimal print operations
Select a location for the printer that meets these conditions:
Condition
Description
Surface
Must be solid, level, and of sufficient size and strength to hold the printer loaded with media (or in the case of fanfold media, stable and sturdy with the media placed on the surface)..
Space
The operating location for the printer must include enough space to open the printer (for media access and cleaning), and enable access to connectivity and power cords. Leave open space on all sides of the printer to allow for proper ventilation and cooling.
Do not place any padding or cushioning material under or around the base of the printer because this will restrict airflow and could cause the printer to overheat.
Power
Situate the printer within easy access of a power outlet.
Data communication interfaces
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
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.
  • Operational temperature: 40°F to 105°F (5°C to 41°C)
  • Operational humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing
  • Non-operational temperature: -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C)
  • Non-operational humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing
