2–2 Setting Up the Printer
Before You Begin
Read this chapter carefully before installing and operating the printer.
The printer is easy to install, but for your safety and to protect valuable
equipment, perform all the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.
Select a Site
Select a printer site that meets the following requirements:
•
Has a power outlet that supplies either 50 or 60 Hz power, with a voltage
range of either 100 to 120 VAC or 200 to 240 VAC. The printer
automatically senses the power line voltage and adjusts itself to conform
to the correct voltage range.
Primary circuit protection is built-in; the power switch is also a circuit
breaker.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that printer power be supplied from a separate AC
circuit protected at 20 amperes for 120 volts or 10 amperes for 230 volts
at 50 or 60 Hertz.
•
Permits complete opening of the printer cover and both doors of the floor
cabinet.
•
Allows at least three feet of clearance behind the printer. (This permits
air to circulate freely around the printer and provides access to the paper
stacking area.)
•
Is relatively dust-free.
•
Has a temperature range of 10
°
C to 40
°
C (50
°
F to 104

relative humidity from 10% to 90% (non–condensing).
