If this occurs, allow the printer to adapt to theenvironment for about one hour before use. Away from open flames or items that can easily burn (such as curtains). Away from items that produce excessive vibration. In an area with an ambient temperature range of 50°–90.5° F (10°–32.5° C) andrelative humidity range of 20%–80% (noncondensating). At an altitude of 0–8200' (0–2500 m). On a hard, flat, level surface capable of supporting the printer with consumables. Caution:For best output quality and longest consumables life, install the printeron a hard, flat, level (within 1.5°) surface capable of supporting about 119 lbs (54kg) for printers without a duplex unit, or 184 lbs (83.5 kg) for the printers with aduplex unit. A surface can be tested for levelness with a standard round pencil. Ifthe pencil rolls, the surface is not level. Clear the area of any obstruction or itemssuch as cables that might prevent the printer from sitting directly on the flat, levelsurface. Near your computer—6.5' (2 m) or less for an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel con-nection; cables for other connections may be longer.
