Before You Begin
Read this chapter carefully before installing and operating the printer. The
printer is easy to install. However, for your safety and to protect valuable
equipment, perform all the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.
IMPORTANT
Make sure you have a way to move the printer and shipping pallet. You
will need a jack.
Make sure you have adequate room to maneuver the shipping pallet and
printer to the location where you plan to install the printer.
Power Requirements
The printer must be connected to a power outlet that supplies 88 to 135 Volts
AC or 178 to 271 Volts AC at 50 to 60 Hz. The printer automatically senses
and adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltage range.
Primary circuit protection is provided by the power switch, which is also a
circuit breaker. Consult an electrician if printer operation affects local
electrical lines. See “Electrical Characteristics” on page 294 for additional
power specifications.
IMPORTANT
Printer power should be supplied from a separate AC circuit protected
at 10 amperes for 100 - 120 volts or 5 amperes for 200 - 240 volts at 50 or
60 Hertz.

kilograms (285 pounds) or 139 kilograms (306 pounds) if the
Power Paper Stacker is installed. The shipping weight of the
pedestal model printer is 72.6 kilograms (160 pounds.)
