1-2 Operating Requirements
Operating
Requirements
Choose a location for the printer before you unpack it. Keep the
following requirements in mind:
Electrical
◆
See “Connecting Power and VideoNet” on page 1-11 for
detailed power requirements.
◆
Use the supplied power cords. Plug them directly into a
grounded electrical outlet. Do not lengthen either power
cord with an extension cord; the resulting voltage drop
could damage the printer.
◆
Make sure the line voltage does not vary more than 10
percent from the voltage marked on the back of the printer.
Install a voltage regulator or similar device if the power
source is not stable.
◆
Unplug the printer during power failures. Wait for the power
to return before plugging it back in.
◆
Connect the print server into a separate circuit from the
printer.
Environmental
◆
Make sure the room is well ventilated, with a temperature
between 60° and 90° F (16° to 32° C). The relative humid-
ity should be between 10 and 80 percent, non-condensing.
Printing will slow automatically to aid drying in high humid-
ity conditions.
◆
Performance will improve slightly as conditions approach
70° F (21° C) and 50% relative humidity.
◆
Store media and ink in an area with similar temperature and
humidity conditions as the printer.
◆
Locate the printer close enough to the print server (RIP) so
that they can be connected with the required cable.
◆
Locate the printer on a flat, level surface; otherwise, printing
problems from improper ink flow could occur.
◆
Locate the printer where its normal operating noise will not
disturb quiet work areas.
◆
This printer is not intended for use in a computer room.
