Select a Site
When selecting the location for the printer, consider the following power requirements, interface requirements, and environmental factors:
•A proper power source must be available. (Complete power requirements are specified in the ªCheck Power Requirementsº section on page 2±3.)
•The location must be within the maximum cable length specifications for the host computer interface.
•The temperature range should be +50°F to +90°F, with no sudden changes in temperature or humidity. The printer should be positioned away from any air drafts from heating or air conditioning ducts.
•Insure that the room provides adequate ventilation. The minimum room volume is 1000 cubic feet and must provide, at a minimum, one fresh air exchange every two hours.
•The location should provide enough space for maintenance and replacement of consumables (toner, developer, paper, etc.). Refer to Figure 2±1.
•The printer should not be exposed to direct sunlight or hot lighting equipment. This may cause an abnormal temperature rise in the printer and adversely affect its operation. If necessary, shade or screen the printer from such exposure.
•Avoid exposing the printer to any corrosive gases or vapors.
•Avoid installing the printer in an area subject to heavy vibrations.
For additional environmental requirements, refer to the Introduction chapter and to Appendix A.
Figure 2±1 illustrates spatial site requirements for the printer. The dimensions are listed in inches and include the requirements with the top and front covers open.
NOTE: The actual printer dimensions are shown in Figure 2±1. When installing the printer at your site, allow an additional 6 inches clearance behind the printer for connection of interface and power cables.
