Choose a location for the printer before you unpack it. Keep the following requirements in mind:

See “Connecting to Power” on page 1-13 for detailed power requirements.

Use the supplied power cords. Plug them directly into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not lengthen either power cord with an extension cord; the resulting voltage drop could damage the printer.

The supply cord for the primary dryer serves as a discon- nect. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Make sure the line voltage does not vary more than 10 percent from the voltage marked on the back of the printer. Install a voltage regulator or similar device if the power source is not stable.

Unplug the printer during power failures. Wait for the power to return before plugging it back in.

Connect the print server to a separate circuit from the printer.

Make sure the room is well ventilated, with a temperature between 60° and 90° F (16° to 32° C). The relative humid- ity should be between 30 and 60 percent, non-condensing. Optimal printing and drying occurs within these ranges. Printing slows automatically to aid drying in high humidity conditions.

Store media and ink in an area with similar temperature and humidity conditions as the printer.

Keep the ventilation slots under the dryer tube free of any blockage. This will allow the output dryer fans to properly dry the printer output.

Locate the printer close enough to the print server (RIP) so that they can be connected with the required cable.

Locate the printer on a flat, level surface.

Locate the printer where its normal operating noise will not disturb quiet work areas.
