1-2 Operating Requirements
Operating
Requirements
Choose a location for the printer before you unpack it. Keep the
following requirements in mind:
Electrical ◆ See “Connecting to Power” on page 1-13 for detailed power
requirements.
◆ Use the supplied power cords. Plug them directly into a
grounded electrical outlet. Do not lengthen either power
cord with an extension cord; the resulting voltage drop
could damage the printer.
◆ The supply cord for the primary dryer serves as a discon-
nect. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
◆ Make sure the line voltage does not vary more than 10
percent from the voltage marked on the back of the printer.
Install a voltage regulator or similar device if the power
source is not stable.
◆ Unplug the printer during power failures. Wait for the power
to return before plugging it back in.
◆ Connect the print server to a separate circuit from the
printer.
Environmental ◆ Make sure the room is well ventilated, with a temperature
between 60° and 90° F (16° to 32° C). The relative humid-
ity should be between 30 and 60 percent, non-condensing.
Optimal printing and drying occurs within these ranges.
Printing slows automatically to aid drying in high humidity
conditions.
◆ Store media and ink in an area with similar temperature and
humidity conditions as the printer.
◆ Keep the ventilation slots under the dryer tube free of any
blockage. This will allow the output dryer fans to properly
dry the printer output.
◆ Locate the printer close enough to the print server (RIP) so
that they can be connected with the required cable.
◆ Locate the printer on a flat, level surface.
◆ Locate the printer where its normal operating noise will not
disturb quiet work areas.
