Positioning the printer

Please read the following before you use the printer. 

Power supply

Use the printer within the recommended power range.

Power source:

USA and Canada:

AC 110 to 120 V, 50/60 Hz

Europe and Australia: AC 220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz

The power cord, including extensions, should be no longer than 5 meters (16½ feet). 

Do not share the same power circuit with other high-power appliances, such as an air conditioner, copier, 
shredder and so on. If you cannot avoid using the printer with these appliances, we recommend that you 
use a voltage transformer or a high-frequency noise filter. 

Use a voltage regulator if the power source is not stable. 

Environment

Make sure that the power outlet is near the machine and is easy to get to so that, if there is an 
emergency, it can be easily unplugged.

curtain to protect the printer from direct sunlight.
