2 Setting Up the Printer

Before You Begin

Read this chapter carefully before installing and operating the printer. The printer is easy to install. However, for your safety, and to protect valuable equipment, perform all the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.

Power Requirements

The printer must be connected to a power outlet that supplies 88 to 135 Volts AC or 178 to 270 Volts AC at 47 to 63 Hz. The printer automatically senses and adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltage range.

Primary circuit protection is provided by the power switch, which is also a circuit breaker. Consult an electrician if printer operation affects local electrical lines. See “Printer Specifications” on page 207 for additional power specifications.

IMPORTANT It is recommended that printer power be supplied from a separate AC circuit protected at 10 amperes for 120 volts or 5 amperes for 230 volts at 50 or 60 Hertz.
