Before You Begin

Read this chapter carefully before installing and operating the printer. The
printer is easy to install. However, for your safety and to protect valuable
equipment, perform all the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.

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 168 for additional
power specifications.
IMPORTANT
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:
•
Permits complete opening of the printer cover and doors.
•
For cabinet models, 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.)
•
Has a standard power outlet that supplies 88-135 Volts AC or
178-270 Volts AC power, at 47 to 63 Hz.
•
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 on page 14.
