Setup and Installation Procedures

This section describes the setup and installation for the DTC1250e, DTC1000Me, and the DTC4250 Card
Printers.
2.1

Choosing a Good Location

The following guidelines help to ensure optimal printing perfomance:
• Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
• Use the printer's dimensions as a guideline for the minimum clearances to the unit.
Note: Allow for adequate clearance in front of the unit to accommodate the unit with its covers open.
• Do not install unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
2.1.1

About Moisture Condensation

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may
condense inside the unit. Should this occur, print quality may not be optimal.
Leave the unit unplugged in a warm, dry room for several hours before using to evaporate any moisture.
Caution: For safety purposes, Ethernet is not intended for a direct connection outside of
the building.
2.2

Unpacking and Inspection

• Power Supply
