Selecting a location for the printer

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more trained personnel to lift it safely.

When selecting a location for the printer, leave enough room to open trays, covers, and doors. If you plan to install any options, then leave enough room for them also. It is important to:

•

Set up the printer near a properly grounded and easily accessible electrical outlet.

•

Make sure airflow in the room meets the latest revision of the ASHRAE 62 standard or the CEN Technical Committee

156 standard.

•

Provide a flat, sturdy, and stable surface.

•

Keep the printer:

–

Clean, dry, and free of dust.

–

Away from stray staples and paper clips.

–

Away from the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or ventilators.

–

Free from direct sunlight and humidity extremes.

•

Observe the recommended temperatures and avoid fluctuations:

Ambient temperature 15.6 to 32.2°C (60 to 90°F)

Storage temperature

‑40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F)

•

Allow the following recommended amount of space around the printer for proper ventilation:

Printer configurations

CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Floor-mounted configurations require additional furniture for stability. You must use either a printer stand or printer base if you are using a high-capacity tray and an input option, or more than one input option. If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that scans, copies, and faxes, you may need additional furniture. For more information, see

www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters

.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other trays closed until needed.

You can configure your printer by adding one optional 250

‑ or 550‑sheet tray. For instructions on installing the optional

tray, see “Installing optional trays” on page 19.
