3.12.1 Environmental Considerations
Unless specified differently in the operator’s manual or in the product specification sheet,
the operating environment for Microcom printers is listed below.
- Relative humidity: 10-85% non-condensing
- Operation Temperature: 40° to 104° F (5° to 40° C)
3.12.2 Printer Mounting Orientations
The printer can be mounted horizontally or vertically, both up dispensing and down
dispensing, depending on the design of the kiosk. Environmental conditions that may affect
operation: Humidity, temperature, air circulation air in the kiosk, and static buildup on
adjacent kiosk components and surfaces, etc. Media considerations: Paper length, partial or
full cut, curl at the end of the media roll, thickness and weight, perforations on fan-fold
media, etc. Other considerations: Media mounting, media path, media access, printer
maintenance, cabling, etc.
It is recommended; when the designer wants the media to fall clear of the printer when cut,
that the printer be mounted vertically and the use of static prevention are used. See the
Electrostatic Discharges section later in the guide.
