Laser printers generate a great deal of heat. This heat could last for several minutes if a large job is being printed.
I do realize the importance of keeping the printer vents open and uncluttered. However, I'd like to clarify the need for protecting the area *under* the printer. 1. Does the area under a laser printer heat up enough that I should be concerned about placing flammable objects (such as a cloth sheet) under the printer? 2. Can a laser printer with a small footprint be placed on top of a computer without damaging it? 3. While the printer is operating, it shakes a bit. Can this shaking cause damage to the adjacent computer? That last question is based on a warning that I received about old daisywheel printers. I never understood it - even in those days. After all, it would seem that pounding on the keyboard over an extended period of time would shake the computer more than any printer. I would appreciate your wise counsel and comments.
