2–2 Setting Up the Printer
Before You Begin
Read this chapter carefully before installing and operating the printer.
The printer is easy to install, but for your safety and to protect valuable
equipment, perform all the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.
Select a Site
Select a printer site that meets the following requirements:
• Has a power outlet that supplies either 50 or 60 Hz power, with a voltage
range of either 100 to 120 VAC or 200 to 240 VAC. The printer
automatically senses the power line voltage and adjusts itself to conform
to the correct voltage range.
Primary circuit protection is built-in; the power switch is also a circuit
breaker.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that printer power be supplied from a separate 50 or
60 Hertz AC circuit. This circuit must have the proper overcurrent
protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Refer to page A–5 for the maximum
current requirements of the printer and other printer power
specifications.
• Permits complete opening of the printer cover and both doors of the floor
cabinet.
• 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.)
• Is relatively dust-free.
• Has a temperature range of 10° Cto 40° C (50° F to 104° F) and a
relative humidity from 10% to 90%.
