Kodak 1200I Verify Proper Receptacle Configuration, Testing Receptacle Neutral-to-Ground Voltage

KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

AC will start to cause some problems with image output (refer to section A); values greater than 12.0 volts lead to more severe problems including premature cartridge failures and severe banding.

2. Verify Proper Receptacle Configuration:

Incorrect Correct

Verify the regional power (source) receptacle has a Ground

(G) line for the respective region (N is neutral; L is line or hot).

CAUTION: If receptacle does not have a ground line (2-prong outlet only) then immediately stop service on the printer. The printer is extremely dangerous to work on (with power applied)

and is a personnel hazard. The problem, for the symptoms described in section

A, cannot be fully corrected until the electrical system/receptacle is properly fixed. Inform the customer a certified electrician will need to be contacted to upgrade the electrical system with a properly grounded outlet.

Also, do not work on printer if a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter, non- grounded standard receptacle, non-grounded GFCI receptacle, or a ‘separate’ ground line runs from the printer. Contact technical support management if necessary for intervention/assistance.

3. Testing Receptacle Neutral-to-Ground Voltage:

-In North America the easiest test method is to use a receptacle tester to determine proper outlet polarity and grounding. Simply plug the device into the outlet (standard and GFCI outlets), typically two LEDs (of the same color) should illuminate indicating proper electrical configuration.

-In all other countries a voltmeter may be used for test

purposes. Verify the voltage level between Ground and Neutral is correct (normally <2.0 volts AC). A voltage ‘screwdriver may be used to easily test for the presence of voltage (phase) on ground and neutral lines (LED illuminates).

NOTE: neutral and line may be reversed.
