Electrical

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

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

•Make sure the line voltage meets the requirements: See

Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for details.

•To maintain vacuum to the printheads during printer power- down or unexpected power outages, use the auxiliary 24 volt power supply (included in the accessory kit with universal power adapters). Connect the 24 VDC jack on the vacuum/ pressure assembly to either of two options:

•1. UPS — customer-supplied uninterruptable power sup- ply, output 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, minimum of 15 watts of power, provides battery backup to the vacuum system in the event of a power failure.

•2. Wall outlet — 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, provides tem- porary power to the vacuum system when it is necessary to power down the printer for service. See Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for details.

•Connect printer to its own electrical circuit. Do not connect the RIP, auxiliary power supply, or UPS into the same circuit as the printer.
