Setting Up The Printer
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.
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 326 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.
