Operational Safety
Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These 
include safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental 
standards.Your attention to the following safety guidelines helps to ensure the continued, safe 
operation of your printer.
Printer Location
Place the printer in a dust-free area within a temperature range of 41° F to 90° F (5° C to 
32° C) and a relative humidity range of 15 percent to 85 percent.
Humidity should be 70 percent or below at 90° F, and temperature should be 82° F or below at 
85 percent humidity.
Note:Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold room 
can cause condensation inside the machine, directly interfering with image transfer.
Printer Clearance
Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for ventilation, operation, and 
servicing. The recommended minimal spacing is:
Overhead Clearance:
■35 cm (13.8 in.) above the printer
Total Height Requirements:
■Printer: 47 cm (18.5 in.)
■Add 14 cm (5.5 in.) for the 550-Sheet Feeder.
Other Clearances:
■13 cm (5 in.) behind the printer
■60 cm (23.6 in.) in front of the printer
■10 cm (3.9 in.) on the left side of the printer
■10 cm (3.9 in.) on the right side of the printer
Operational Guidelines
■Do not block or cover the slots and openings on the printer. The printer may overheat 
without adequate ventilation.
■For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 3,500 m (11,480 ft.).
■Do not place the printer near a heat source.
■Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposing light-sensitive components 
when the doors are open.
■Do not place the printer in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning system.
