Power Requirements

CAUTION

MVP–Series printers employ a single phase, capacitive start shuttle motor. All models require 120 volts at 4 amps for a duration of 0.5 seconds at motor start–up. This is an important power requirement and is recommended to supply power from a separate AC circuit of 20 amps at 60 Hz.

VORSICHT

Die MVP Drucker benuetzen einen ein–phasigen, kapazitive–startenden Pendelmotor. Die MVP Modelle benoetigen beim Anlassen 0,5 Sek. lang 25,4 A. Diese Stromanforderung ist wichtig und es wird empfohlen den Strom aus einem gesonderten AC–Stromanschluss von 20 A bei 60 Hz zu decken.

A label on the back of the printer near the power cord shows the voltage and frequency requirements. The printer must be connected to the specified power source, either 110, 220 or 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hz. Line voltage can vary by 10%. The printer automatically senses and adjusts itself to conform to the proper voltage. The printer contains primary circuit protection. Consult an electrician if printer operation affects local electrical lines.
