Selecting a Printer Location
4❖Setting Up the LN17 and LN17ps Printers
Selecting a
Printer
Location
Select a printer location that meets the minimum air space
requirements shown in Figure 2. Set the printer on a flat,
stable surface away from direct sunlight and electrical
interference.
In selecting a location for the printer, you should also consider
the following:
• Is the Control Panel accessible for viewing and use?
• Is there enough clearance above the printer to replace
consumables?
• Is there enough clearance above the printer to add paper
handling options?
The 500-sheet Paper Deck adds 120 mm (4.8 in.) to the
height of the printer; the Offset Catch Tray adds 130 mm
(5.2 in.); the Mailbox adds 370 mm (14.6 in.).
• Is there enough clearance around the printer should it
ever require servicing? (If not, you may need to relocate
the printer for servicing.)

it into the printer, and
• Connect the power cord.
Follow the instructions below to assemble the printer.
