Print Engine Installation
This section provides basic information for mounting the print engine into an applicator. The illustrations in this section show the print engine from different angles and include dimensions and clearance needs.
Requirements
Stability When the print engine is mounted, the complete assembly must be physically stable. When the print engine is loaded with ribbon and media, the equipment must not become physically unstable.
Ventilation and Temperature Provide ventilation for the print engine mounting enclosure to remove heat and ensure uninterrupted,
•Temperature: 32° to 105°F (0° to 41°C)
•Relative humidity: 20% to 95%
Power Requirements Consider the current rating of the print engine during installation. When power is applied to the print engine and the enclosing equipment, an overload condition must not be created.
Grounding Requirements Maintain reliable grounding of the print engine. Pay particular attention to the AC power supply connections so that earth ground is maintained through the AC power input connector.
Clearance for Cables and Connectors Allow ample space at the rear ofthe print engine for electronic connectors and dressing of the following cables: IEC power cord, serial and/or parallel host communication cable, optional host communication cable (Ethernet), and the discrete signal (applicator) interface cable.
Power Cord Requirements The IEC power cord does not have a strain relief on the print engine. If the operating characteristics of the applicator include vibration or strain on the power cord, provide an appropriate clamping mechanism to avoid unintentional disconnection of the power cord from the print engine.
