The
following
wall
outlets
are
required:
• One
wall
outlet
behind
the
printer
(for
the
printer)
This
should
be
connected
directly
to
the
main
electrical
panel.
• Three
wall
outlets
close
to
the
printer
(for
the
printer
‐
server
workstation,
the
monitor,
and
an
extra
one
for
servicing
requirements)
5.2 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
To
avoid
printing
problems
due
to
power
outages
and
other
power
problems,
it
is
recommended
that
the
customer
install
equipment
that
ensures
a
continuous
power
supply,
with
the
following
functionality
and
specifications.
5.2.1 Functionality
The
device
used
must
have
a
USB
alert
output
for
“graceful
system
shutdown.”
(Do
not
use
a
UPS
device
which
only
has
a
Serial
Com
signal
output—RS

Protocol.)
5.2.2 Specifications
Refer
to
the
relevant
voltage
below
when
selecting
a
UPS:
5.3 Communication Lines
A
telephone
line,
for
general
communication
and
service
calls,
is
recommended
near
the
system
(in
close
proximity
to
the
printer).
Voltage
Current
Power
100–120 VAC, 50–60 Hz
16 Amps
1500 VA for 20 minutes
200–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz
8 Amps
1500 VA for 20 minutes
Table 5: UPS requirements
To provide adequate protection if a power failure occurs, the UPS requirements
are calculated to supply about 20% more than the printer’s power rating, shown in
section 5.1.1 on page 13, for the estimated time it may take to shut your system
down in a controlled manner. The UPS device recommended is not intended to let
you continue working.
