To ensure optimal performance, it is advisable to maintain a temperature range of 15 to 350C when operating this printer. Similarly, a recommended relative humidity range of 20 to 80% non-condensing RH should be maintained. These parameters play a vital role in maintaining the printer’s efficiency and prolonging its lifespan.

It is important to note that temperatures below the recommended range may result in poor print quality and malfunction of the printer’s components. Conversely, high temperatures may cause overheating, leading to damage of critical parts.

Relative humidity, on the other hand, affects the printer’s ability to retain ink on the paper surface. Extremely low humidity may cause ink to dry out quickly, leading to clogging of the printer’s nozzles. On the other hand, high humidity may cause ink to smudge or spread on the paper surface, leading to poor print quality.

Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the recommended temperature and humidity ranges when operating the printer to ensure consistent, high-quality prints. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in costly repairs or replacement of the printer’s components.
