  • Printer Power and data outlets should be positioned roughly 16-24" (40-60 cm) on the center above the finished floor. Exact height should be coordinated and confirmed by the project team against local code requirements and power cord length.

  • Confirm power and data with scheduled equipment.
    • Consider ease of accessibility when equipment is in use (no overhead storage above copy/print equipment).

Branding and signage 

  • Safety Spot signage required. See Global Signage Guidelines for branded Safety Spot signage guidance.

  • Consult with local stakeholders.
  • For space planning purposes  |  These are the minimum installation dimensions (WxD) required for our approved printer sizes:
