2 Setting Up the Printer
Before You Begin
Read this chapter carefully before installing and operating the DEC LG
Emulation printer.
The printer is easy to install, but for your safety, and to protect valuable
equipment, perform all the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.
Power Requirements
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that printer power be supplied from a separate AC
circuit protected at 10 amperes for 120 volts or 5 amperes for 230 volts
at 50 or 60 Hertz.
The printer must be connected to a power outlet that supplies 88 to 135 Volts
AC or 178 to 270 Volts AC at 47 to 63 Hz. The printer automatically senses
and adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltage range.
Primary circuit protection is provided by the power switch, which is also a
circuit breaker. Consult an electrician if printer operation affects local
electrical lines. See Appendix A for additional power specifications.
Select a Site
Printer dimensions are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. Select a printer site
that meets the following requirements:
• Permits complete opening of the printer cover and doors.
• Allows at least three feet of clearance behind the cabinet printer model.
(This permits air to circulate freely around the printer and provides access
to the paper stacking area.)
• Has a standard power outlet that supplies 100-120 Volts AC or 200-240
Volts AC power, at 47 to 63 Hz. The printer automatically senses and
adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltage range. (For the 100-120
Volt outlet, power may fluctuate between 88 and 135 Volts AC. For the
200-240 Volt outlet, power may fluctuate between 178 and 270 Volts.)
• Is relatively dust-free.
• Has a temperature range of 10° C to 40° C (50° F to 104° F), and a
relative humidity from 15% to 90% non-condensing.
