Electrical Considerations for Optional Devices


Electrical requirements and space requirements must be satisfied prior to equipment delivery.

Optional accessories should be placed within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of wall outlets.

Most optional devices have their own power cord and must be plugged into an outlet separate from the print engine. Ensure
that there are enough wall outlets for each required accessory.

Electrical Considerations for Print Servers


Electrical requirements and space requirements must be satisfied prior to equipment delivery.

The print server should be placed within 6 feet (1.83 m) of the wall outlet.

Ensure that there is an available wall outlet for the print server.

Information Applicable to All Electrical Devices

Extension Cord Information
Periodically extension cords may be needed. Electrical and local building and fire codes must be adhered to in terms of length of
cord, conductor size, and grounding. An extension cord may serve only one device. Plug strips are not extension cords and may be
used for computer applications.
Acceptable Circumstances for Using Extension Cords
Extension cords may be used under the following circumstances:

Extension cords may be used to facilitate demo situations where the customer does not have an outlet receptacle at the
location of the demo placement. All electrical and code requirements apply.

Where a temporary condition exists (90 days) at the customer site before a permanent outlet receptacle is installed, an
extension cord set may be used to get the customer up and running. Typical situations include customer moves, remodeling,
and recovery from fires or other facility emergencies.

For most copy and facsimile machines requiring 20 amp service or less and where permitted by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction, extension cord sets may be used without regard to length of time in service.
Extension Cord Requirements
Extension cords must meet the following requirements:

The customer must notify the appropriate agencies (Authority Having Jurisdiction) such as the local building inspector,
insurance inspector, and fire inspector of the use of any extension cord set if required by local law.

The cord set used to supply power to our machine supplies power only to our machine.

The cord set receptacle is a single outlet receptacle. The receptacle of the extension cord set must be compatible with the
machine plug (no adapters permitted).

The cord set is of proper amp voltage to carry the load over the distance/length needed. Length is not to exceed 25
feet/7.62 meters. Cord conductors shall be a minimum of AWG# 12 (16.1 to 20.0 amps), AWG # 14 for (12.1 to 16.0 amps),
and AWG # 16 (7.1 to 12.0 amps) for 25 foot/7.62 meter lengths.

The cord set has UL or CSA listing or both, and shall have appropriate markings or labels such as type (S, SO, ST, SJ, SJO, SJT
for 20 amp capacity or less).

The Plug and Connector are grounded and the polarity and continuity are checked prior to placing the cord set in service.

The cord set does not cross any aisles or walkways that are required exits.

Where the Authority Having Jurisdiction permits the use of extruded cord protectors, in an aisle or walk way, only extruded
cord protectors shall be permitted as protection for the cord set. Cord sets shall not be run under carpet, through walls,
floors, windows or doorways, or overhead in ceiling plenum space.

The plug of the extension cord set must be compatible with the receptacle of the wall outlet (no adapters permitted).

The cord set must be a continuous length without splices or in line switches.
