Power Requirements

A label on the back of the printer near the power cord indicates the voltage and frequency require-
ments.
The printer must be connected to the specified power source in the proper range, 92
to 132 V
AC
or
184
to 264 V
AC, at 50 to 60 Hz. The printer automatically senses and adjusts itself to conform to the
proper voltage range. Primary circuit protection is contained in the printer. Consult an electrician if
printer operation af
fects local electrical lines.
IMPORTANT
Printronix recommends that printer power be supplied from a separate circuit pro-
tected at 20 amps for 120 VAC, or 10 amps for 240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz.

WICHTIG

Es wird empfohlen, dass der Strom von einem separaten Wechselstromkreis dem
Drucker
zugeführt wird, der mit 20 A für 120 V oder 10 A für 240 V geschützt ist und
50 oder 60 Hz hat.
