Plan The Printer Production Area And Environment; Safety Considerations - HP Jet Fusion 340 Product Documentation Site Preparation Manual

4 Plan the printer production area and
environment
You are responsible for the preparation of the printer production area, which includes the following topics:
Safety
●
Printer space requirements
●
Flooring considerations
●
Environmental requirements
●
Electrical requirements
●

Safety considerations

Fire-fighting equipment
You must provide two fire extinguishers for the site. Make sure the extinguishers are placed where they are easily
accessible in case of fire.
A fire extinguisher certified for electrical fires must be in the print production area.
●
A fire extinguisher should be placed in the materials storage area, due to the large amount of combustible
●
dust (material).
Suitable materials for fire-fighting include carbon dioxide, water spray, dry chemicals, and foam.
Emergency exits
Exit paths and first-aid stations should also be considered.
Other equipment in the production area
Make sure that the printer is located in an area accessible by trained personnel only.
The printer is not intended for hazardous locations or ATEX-classified zones: ordinary locations only.
An ordinary location is a location that is not expected to have combustible dust clouds, and therefore it does not
need any specific protection against explosions. The opposite would be a hazardous location or ATEX-classified
zone, in which you can expect to find combustible dust clouds, and which is therefore generally constructed to
resist explosions caused by an ignition source close to the dust clouds.
HP recommends that the recommended operation space be maintained. Additionally, the printer should be
protected against risks potentially created by other nearby installed equipment. That is, the printer can be
installed in the same room as other equipment, but it should be installed away from other equipment that could
potentially create a hazard during operation.
