Expanding Memory ............................................................. 1-2 1-6 1-8 1-9 1-11 1-32 1-1 Environmental Requirements of the Page Printer Environmental Requirements of the Page Printer Places to Avoid Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to: · · · · · · · · · · Basic requirements Direct drafts of hot or cold air Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near doors leading outside.) Sudden temperature or humidity changes Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators Excessive dust Vibration Ammonia or other harmful fumes. (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or make liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!) Excessive sunlight or humidity Lack of ventilation Low air pressure, e.g., located more than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level. The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is: · Near the computer If the parallel interface is used to connect the printer to the computer, the connecting cable should be shielded type and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet). 1-2 Chapter 1 Installing the Page Printer · Level and well supported Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk. Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The printer may fall, causing injury, or serious damage to the printer. Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone (see section Power Supply on next page.) Only use this printer under the voltage listed on the serial number label attached to the rear panel of the printer. · · Power requirements are: Voltage Frequency Current capacity 120 V (U.S.A.), 220­240 V (European countries, Australia, Asia) ±10% at each voltage 60 Hz (120 V), ±2% 50 Hz (220­240 V), ±2% Max. 5.6 A at 120 V, or Max. 2.8 A at 230 V The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be used. If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 meters (17 feet) or less. · Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and too damp or dry 10°C to 32.5°C, ideally about 23°C (50°F to 90.5°F, ideally about 73.4°F) 20% to 80%, ideally 60% Temperature Humidity If you install the printer where the temperature or humidity is outside the above ranges, you may not get the best print quality, and there will be an increased chance of paper jams. 1-3 Environmental Requirements of the Page Printer Power Supply The printer should not be on the same power circuit as an air conditioner, fluorescent light, copier, or shredder, because these devices generate electrical noise on the power line. If it must share a power circuit with equipment like this, a high-frequency noise filter or isolation transformer is advisable. (Filters and transformers are available commercially.) Avoid using plug multipliers to connect a large number of devices on the same circuit as the printer. If the power from the outlet itself appears to be unstable, a line stabilizer should be used. In places where the voltage tends to fluctuate, it may be necessary to install a voltage regulator. As the disconnect device is not incorporated in the printer's AC primary circuit, an easily accessible socket outlet must be provided near the equipment. Da kein Trennschalter in den Wechselstrom-Primärkreis des Druckers eingebaut ist, muß eine leicht zugängliche Steckdose in der Nähe des Gerätes vorhanden sein. 1-4 Chapter 1 Installing the Page Printer Grounding Be sure to connect the ground wire for the printer's power supply to the ground terminal of the power outlet, to a copper pole buried at least 65 cm (25 inches) in the ground, or to a water pipe approved by the water department for use as a ground. WARNING Never use a gas pipe as a ground, as this may result in fire. Surrounding space Space surrounding the location where the printer is installed is required as shown below for purposes of ventilation and maintenance. WARNING Be sure to secure enough space surrounding the printer. Continued use without enough space may cause heat to build up within the printer, resulting in fire. 30 cm (11.8 inches) 40 cm (15.7 inches) 5 cm (2 inches) 25 cm (9.8 inches) 50 cm (19.6 inches) 1-5 Environmental Requirements of the Page Printer Basic handling precautions Removing or changing parts other than disposable parts is prohibited.
