Installing the Printer and intelligent Paper Stacker
1.1
Requirements to the location of the printer
In this chapter the preconditions are described concerning the environment, the
physical prerequisites, and the demand for space which are required for
installation of the printer.
1.1.1 Environmental conditions
S
Temperature and Humidity
The following table shows the values of temperature and relative humidity
which are specified for the printer and its consumables.

The photoeletrical process in a laser printer is influenced by the climatic
conditions of the environment. The herewith specified values define a
climate in which an optimal print quality is ensured. Operating the printer
outside this range may lead to a reduction of the print quality.
** It is recommended to store the consumables at a cool and dark location.
S
Altitude
The printer can be used at an altitude up to 2,135 m (7,000 ft.).

S
Air circulation
In general there are no restrictions concerning air circulation. However, it is
to be observed that the air flow does not move the fanfold paper heavily at
the paper entry and paper exit of the printer and such may lead to paper
jams.
In conjunction with the paper stacking system care has to be taken that the
air flow does not disturb a proper operation of the stacker.
S
Impact of Light and Sunshine
Since the printer is equipped with a light-sensitive photoconductor drum and
optical sensors it shall in generally not be installed at a location which is
exposed to sunlight. If not otherwise possible window shades have to
provide for the necessary protection.
Note:
The printer must never be installed such that its right side (paper
exit) points to a window.
If the top cover is opened to clear a paper jam or to perform maintenance
actions sunbeams would directly fall onto the photoconductor drum and
would permanently destroy its surface after an impact period of about 1
minute.
S
Acoustical Noise
The upper limits of the acoustical noise are shown below.
S
Print Operation
< 55 dB(A)
S
Stand-by
< 48 dB(A)
S
Power Dissipation
If an interruption of a print operation occurs the printer can enter the Power
Save mode when for a certain period of time whose duration is selected at
the operator panel the printer does not perform any further operation. In this
mode most of the printer´s subsystems are disconnected from power. The
operating mode is resumed when the printer receives further data from the
host system.
Mode
Power Consumption
Operating
< 1,200 Watt average
< 1,650 Watt max.
Stand-by
< 100 Watt
Sleep Mode (Power Save)
< 45 Watt
