Preparing for Your New Printer
Follow these guidelines to prepare your site for delivery of the printer.
Electrical Power
The required electric circuit must be installed by a qualified electrician before the printer can be installed
(see Table 2, “Specifications,” on page 5). The printer is supplied with the required power cord, which must
not be lengthened or attached to an extension cord.
The printer requires “three-phase power.” Three-phase power provides a more efficient means of supplying
large electrical loads than single-phase power, which is common in offices and homes.
You can have three-phase power supplied by your local electric utility, or for locations that receive 60 Hz
electric service (such as the United States), you can purchase a phase converter to convert your building’s
single-phase power to three-phase power. If you decide to use a converter, it must be installed by a qualified
electrician prior to the printer’s installation date. When the printer is installed, the printer’s power cord must
be modified by the Authorized Service Provider to connect to the converter. To enable this, please order
Field Modification Kit number 0901565 for delivery prior to the printer installation date.
NOTE: Regardless of whether you are using utility-supplied three-phase power or a phase converter, the
printer requires power as specified in Table 2, “Specifications,” on page 5. Installation of the printer cannot
begin until power as specified is available.
For locations that receive 60 Hz electric service (such as the United States), the recommended phase con-
verter for the printer is:
