INSTALLATION

Electrical Connections

Now that TowerFeed and printer are mechanically assembled, the units have to be connected electrically to each other.

∙Connect the power cables to printer and TowerFeed (Fig. 23a, Fig. 23b).

When installing the optional 3000-sheet output stacker as well, power and data cable have to be connected too:

∙the (short) data cable of the output stacker plugs into the ACCESSORY connector of the printer(Fig. 23c).

The (long) power cable of the output stacker cannot be plugged into a regular power plug. Here are two alternatives:

∙Use a regular appliance cable* to extend the (long) power cable of the output stacker to connect it with a wall plug.

∙Use the HP PowerBox* (C4781-60500, Fig. 24a) with one regular power cable (to connect to the wall plug) and 2+1 connectors for the connection of printer, TowerFeed and output option (Fig. 24b, c, d).

*additional appliance cable and HP PowerBox are not part of the shipment

Now the system is ready to be powered on.

Power-on TowerFeed first and then the printer. That will ensure that TowerFeed is ready when the printer is booting and looking for the installed peripheral options.

Note:

When powering on the system, power on TowerFeed FIRST and then the printer.

When moving the printer system to another place, detach the output stacker from printer and TowerFeed and watch out when crossing doorsteps to not have the unit tipping over or TowerFeed trays sliding open.
