Regardless of the size of your company, if you are using industrial sized printers, you will need to arrange them in such a way that not only can you have proper access to all the trays and drawers in the printer, but so that the field engineer can have access to all the sides of the printer. You will need about 2′ around the whole printer for proper access. Also, the printers have their own fans, you don’t want to over crowed them.
You also need the space to clean around these printers because, the dust alone from these types can be huge. As well as toner spills from accidents, stacks of paper that is being used. The list can go on. Some of these types of printers need to be “re-balanced” every time they are moved which is a very good reason to position them once about 2′ apart from each other.
