1 Introduction

Operating requirements

Electrical

Make sure the line voltage meets the requirements. See Specifications on page 83 for details.

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.

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 assembly to either of two options:

UPS — customer-supplied uninterruptable power supply, 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.

Wall outlet — 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, provides temporary 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.

Environmental

Make sure the room is well ventilated, with a temperature and relative humidity within specifications. Optimal printing occurs within these ranges. See Specifications on page 83 for details.

The high power UV light emitted by the curing lamps reacts with oxygen and produces ozone. This formation tends to be greatest during lamp startup. The printer should be operated in a well- ventilated area to avoid minor effects such as headaches, fatigue, and dryness of the upper respiratory tract. Normal air movement will mix the ozone with fresh air, causing it to revert back to oxygen.

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

Locate the printer so that it can be connected to the RIP with the specified cable.

Locate the printer on a flat, level floor.

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

DO NOT install the printer near humidifiers, refrigerators, fans, water faucets, heaters or similar equipment.

DO NOT install the printer in areas where the temperature changes abruptly, such as near air conditioners, in the path of direct sunlight, or near open doors or windows.

DO NOT expose the printer to flames or dust.
