Installing and Relocating your Printer

Do not place the printer in a hot, humid, dusty, or poorly ventilated environment. Prolonged exposure to 
such adverse conditions can cause fire or electric shocks.

Do not place the printer near heaters or volatile, flammable, or combustible materials, such as curtains.

Place the printer on a level, sturdy surface that can withstand the printer's weight. Failure to do so could 
cause the printer to fall, resulting in injuries.

To prevent injuries, this printer should be lifted by at least two people.

To lift the printer, face the front of the printer and grip the recessed areas at the bottom left and right with 
both hands. Never try to lift the printer by gripping any other areas. Lifting the printer by gripping other areas 
can cause the printer to fall, resulting in injuries.

When lifting the printer, get a firm footing and bend your knees to avoid possible injuries to your back.

The printer has ventilation grills on the side and at the back of the machine. Ensure that the printer is 
installed no less than 150 mm (5.9 in.) from the wall on the right, 100 mm (3.9 in.) from the wall on the left, 
and 200 mm (7.8 in.) from the wall at the back. A poorly ventilated printer can cause excessive internal heat 
to build up and result in fire. 
The diagram below shows the minimum clearances required for normal operation, consumables 
replacement, and maintenance ensuring that your printer operates at peak performance.

When moving the printer, be sure to unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet/socket. Moving the 
printer with the power cord connected can damage the power cord, which could result in a fire or an electric 
shock.

When moving the printer, do not tilt it more than the angles shown in the diagram below. 

If tilted excessively, the printer may fall, resulting in injuries.

After installing the optional tray module, lock down the brakes of the casters at the front of the tray module. 
Failure to lock down the brakes can cause the printer to move unexpectedly, resulting in injuries.

CAUTION

Recess

If you hold the printer by the front 
cover, left or right sides, there is 
a danger of the printer falling.
