SETTING UP THE HARDWARE
This section shows the steps to set up the hardware which is explained in
the
Quick Install Guide
. Ensure you read
Quick Install Guide
and complete
following steps.
1.
Select a stable location.
Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow
extra space to open covers and trays.
The area should be well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight or
sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the printer close to the
edge of your desk or table.
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the
altitude setting to optimize your printing. See "Altitude adjustment" on
page 20 for more information.
Select a flat, stable surface that is not inclined greater than 2 mm (0.08
inch). Otherwise, printing quality may be affected.
2.
Unpack the printer and check all the enclosed items.
3.
Remove the tape that is holding the printer tightly.
