Installation and Service Guide: Color Controller E-45
Installing Hardware
•
Is space available near the printer for the E-45 and the optional furniture?
Make sure that adequate space is available for the E-45 and the furniture. Allow enough space at the connector panel
for the cables to route easily and at the side panel so that the E-45 does not interfere with use of or service to the printer
(such as clearing a paper jam). You may need to move the printer away from the wall so that the interface connectors
are accessible.
•
Does the printer require service or adjustments?
Print the printer Test Page before you install the E-45.
If the image indicates that the printer needs adjustment, inform the customer. After getting approval, complete the
necessary printer service.
Power
•
Is a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet for the E-45 available near the printer?
Locate the grounded electrical outlet that will supply power to the E-45. Do not run the E-45 and the printer on the
same circuit. If the customer has provided one, use a surge suppressor for the E-45.
Network
•
Make sure that the network is available at the time set for installation.
•
Verify with the network administrator that the network is functioning before you attach the E-45.
•
Make sure that the configuration requirements specified in
Configuration and Setup
(which is part of the user
documentation set) have been met for remote computers and the network.
Setting customer expectations
When the site is ready, installation of the E-45 takes about one hour. Inform the customer of the following:
•
Some nodes on the network may be unavailable for up to one hour.
•
The printer may be unavailable for up to one hour.
•
The network administrator must be available during the installation for network connectivity.
Equipment downtime and impact on the network can be minimized if the network administrator installs a network
connector for the E-45 and confirms network functionality with the connector in place before the date scheduled for the
E-45 installation.
•
The network administrator must make a networked computer available during the installation. The appropriate
software must be installed in advance. Documentation for the networked computer and network operating software
should be available.
