1.2 Power Requirements
The imagesetter engine requires power supplied in the range of 90 to 130 volts or 180 to 260 volts and 50
to 60 Hz single phase. The imagesetter power supply will automatically sense the incoming voltage and
adjust accordingly. Total power required is 175 watts maximum.
1.3 Setup Location and Environmental Considerations
The following site requirements are necessary for proper operation of the imagesetter:
♦
A sturdy, flat and level surface with at least 7 inches (18 cm) clearance behind the unit and 5 inches
(13 cm) of table top in front of the unit. At least 10” of clear space must be available above the unit to
allow the cover to fully open. The supporting surface should securely support the 90 pound (41 kg)
weight of the imagesetter plus anything else to be located on the same table.
NOTE: No other machinery should be located on or near the imagesetter table. Vibration from such
machinery can interact with the imagesetter and cause undesirable artifacts on film.
♦
A well ventilated room. Dust and/or smoke in the environment will degrade the optical system
requiring more frequent servicing of the imagesetter. Generally, the room should be air conditioned
and smoke-free with no food or drink allowed in the immediate area.
♦
Pick a location away from direct sunlight or other direct lighting. Normal indirect office lighting or
slightly subdued lighting is best. Brighter lighting will decrease the fog-free time of the film in the
imagesetter.
♦
A steadily maintained ambient temperature in the range of 64
°
- 84
°
F (18
°
- 29
°
C). For best
repeatability results, avoid the extremes of this range and keep the film and imagesetter at the same
temperature for several hours before imaging. Avoid abrupt temperature changes (greater than 2
°
F per
hour).
♦
Maintain the relative humidity between 35% and 85%, non-condensing. Again, for best repeatability
results, avoid the extremes of this range and keep the film and imagesetter at the same humidity for
several hours before imaging. Film emulsion is very sensitive to humidity, — the physical size of the
