GETTING STARTED
PREPARING THE PRINTER FOR OPERATION
Printer unpacking is complete when all accessories have been
removed from the packaging and printer cabinet or pedestal. See
“Appendix A Unpacking Procedures” for more information.
Move the printer to a suitable operating location. See Appendix C for
considerations on the space and conditions required for normal
operation.
The two front casters have locks to stabilize the printer once it has
been moved to its location. Press one brake tab to lock the wheel of
the caster and press the other tab to unlock. See Figure 2-1.
Note
The printer should be initially setup following the instructions
given in this chapter, in the order presented.
CONNECTING THE POWER CORD
The 5050/5100 (50, 55 or 60 dBa) Cabinet Model printer is equipped
with an auto-switching power supply and can be connected to either
a 115V or 230V source without damage or manually changing a
switch setting.
The 5180 (52 or 55 dBa) Cabinet Model has a voltage selection switch
located on the back panel. The switch has two positions, 115V and
230V. The factory default is set to 230V.
Caution
(5180 (52 or 55 dBa) Cabinet Model)
Set the voltage selection switch to the proper line voltage before
plugging in the power cable.
The allowable voltage variation is
±
15% and the allowable frequency
is 48 to 65 Hz.
A power cord is packed with the printer. Plug the female end of the
cord into the recessed connector at the rear of the printer. See Figure
2-2. Plug the other end into a compatible, properly grounded AC
outlet.
