Setting Up The Printer
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 supply outlet that supplies 90 to 264 volts AC at its upper and
lower limits. These limits take into account normal voltage sags and surges created on the nominal line
voltage by other AC power loads associated with the AC distribution line. The printer automatically
senses and adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltage range.
Primary circuit protection is provided by the AC source protection device. Consult an electrician if printer
operation affects local electrical lines.
IMPORTANT
Printer power should be supplied from a separate AC circuit protected at 20
amperes maximum for 100 - 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.)
•
For pedestal models, DO NOT place the side of the printer (inlet and exit air vents) against a wall or
other object. A minimum of 6 inch spacing is recommended.
•
Has a standard power outlet that supplies 100-135 Volts AC or 178-240 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.
