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.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a way to move the printer and shipping

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 254 for additional power specifications.
IMPORTANT: Printer power should be supplied from a separate AC circuit
pallet. You will need a jack.
Make sure you have adequate room to maneuver the shipping
pallet and printer to the location where you plan to install the
printer.
