ci5000 Series Printer Technical Service Manual
Version 0.1 4-4
The cabinet should be in a position where there is access to the front, back, and sides with clearances to
open the doors. The cabinet must be level and electrically isolated from other equipment, except for a
normal data interface. For total stability, the printer should be mounted on a stand or table. The printer
should be sited in an area where the temperatures will remain 5°C and +45°C and the relative
humidity will remain within 10% to 90% (non-condensing). The ci5200, ci5300, and ci5500 model printer
draws in and expels air through the underside of the cabinet. Nothing must be allowed to interfere with
this movement of air.
Conduit and Print Head Positioning:
The conduit must be kept away from power supply cables and other wiring capable of producing
electrical noise. The print head must also be electrically isolated. This is normally achieved by the
insulation coating on the printhead and its mounting components.
The print head and conduit must also be as free as possible from vibration.
The print head must be mounted perpendicular to the printing surface. The distance between print head
and print surface is optimized to the values given above. Print quality will be maintained if the distance is
between the limits given, but will reduce outside these limits.
