(By "level" we mean that the surface should be so flat--1° or less slant--that you can lay a round pencil down on it, and it doesn't roll in any direction.) In an area with a temperature range of 50° - 95° F/10° - 35° C (with temperature fluctuation of ±10°) and relative humidity range of 15% - 85% (with humidity fluctuation of ± 20°). Away from cooling and heating sources, extreme temperature changes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, corrosive chemicals or vapors, water pipes, refrigerators, any strong electromagnetic field (such as that created by an air conditioner), items that can easily burn (such as a curtain), and excessive vibration. Don't connect it to the same electrical outlet as noise-generating equipment. 6 feet (1.8 meters) or less from your PC for a parallel connection. Close to an easily accessible power supply. In a well-ventilated room. With enough space around the printer to allow adequate ventilation and easy servicing: Front Rear Left side Right side 36"/914 mm 12"/305 mm 12"/305 mm 12"/305 mm m 0 8 8/ " 5. 4 3 n n n n n n 5E@A 8EAM m Optional feeder 23.4"\593 mm QMS 2060 WX Print System Setup Guide 3 Find a Good Location Power Requirements Your printer requires a properly grounded AC outlet with a power range of ±10% of the rated line voltage (either 100/120 V or 220/240 V). » Note: Your printer cannot automatically switch between voltages; in other words, 110 volt and 220 volt systems are not interchangeable. To determine the rated voltage of your printer, refer to the data plate on the back of the printer. Make sure that the capacity of the electrical outlet is at least 1.2 times that used by the printer. Noise-generating equipment should not be connected to the same electrical outlet as the printer. The recommended frequency is 50-60 Hz for a 100/120 V system and 50-60 Hz for a 200/240 V system. The frequency fluctuation is ±0.3%. Energy Star Compliance The QMS 2060 WX Print System is compliant with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star regulations. After a specified period of inactivity, the printer changes to a low-power state (the engine remains on, but the fuser turns off). When a print job is received, the printer returns to normal power within 90 seconds. PC Requirements Printer performance depends upon the type of PC to which you connect it. We recommend a Pentium-class PC with at least 16 MB of RAM (if you're using Windows 95) or 32 MB of RAM (if you're using Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0). 4 QMS 2060 WX Print System Setup Guide Unpack the Printer Unpack the Printer The packing materials that protect your printer during shipment-- cardboard, polystyrene, tape, and shipping spacers--must be removed before you can use the printer.
