Power Requirements
Warning
Do not connect the printer to any 380—415 IT power distribution system
(impedance grounded neutral system).
Make sure your installation meets the electrical power requirements listed in
Table 4 on page 17 before the printer is delivered. In addition:
Ÿ
Reserve a dedicated circuit to support the printer and to allow the printer to be
disconnected from power. If you order the 3000-sheet side stacker (option),
reserve another dedicated circuit for it or put it on the same circuit as the
printer. Do not put anything else on the circuits dedicated to the printer, to the
stacker, or to the printer and stacker.
Ÿ
Provide electrical outlets for auxiliary equipment, such as modems or
communication modules. If necessary, make sure a telephone line and jack
are available.
Ÿ
For your safety, the printer is equipped with a plug required and approved by
UL and CSA. Use it in conjunction with a properly grounded receptacle.
