Power Requirements
The printer must be connected to a power outlet that supplies 88 to 135 Volts
AC or 178 to 271 Volts AC at 50 to 60 Hz. The printer automatically senses
and adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltage range.
Primary circuit protection is provided by the power switch, which is also a
circuit breaker. Consult an electrician if printer operation affects local
electrical lines. See "Electrical Characteristics" on page 181 for additional
power specifications.
Printer power should be supplied from a separate AC circuit protected
at 10 amperes for 100 - 120 volts or 5 amperes for 200 - 240 volts at 50 or
60 Hertz.
Select A Site
Select a printer site that meets all of the following requirements:
•
Cabinet models: Permits complete opening of the printer cover and both
doors of the floor cabinet. Allows at least three feet of clearance behind
the printer. (This permits air to circulate freely around the printer and
provides access to the paper stacking area.)
•
Pedestal models: Permits complete opening of the printer cover and
good access to the paper areas at the front and rear of the printer.
•
Has a standard power outlet that supplies 88-135 Volts AC or
178-270 Volts AC power, at 47 to 63 Hz. The printer automatically senses
and adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltage range.
•
Is relatively dust-free.
•
Has a temperature range of 10° C to 40° C (50° F to 104° F) and a
relative humidity from 15% to 90% non-condensing.
•
Is located within the maximum allowable cable length to the host
computer. This distance depends on the type of interface you plan to use,
as shown in Table 2.
