192 Setting Up The PrinterBefore You BeginRead this chapter carefully before installing and operating the printer. Theprinter is easy to install. However, for your safety and to protect valuableequipment, perform all the procedures in this chapter in the order presented.Power RequirementsThe printer must be connected to a power supply outlet that supplies 90 to264 volts AC at its upper and lower limits. These limits take into accountnormal voltage sags and surges created on the nominal line voltage by otherAC power loads associated with the AC distribution line. The printerautomatically senses and adjusts itself to conform to the correct voltagerange.Primary circuit protection is provided by the AC source protection device.Consult an electrician if printer operation affects local electrical lines.IMPORTANT Printer power should be supplied from a separate AC circuit protectedat 20 amperes maximum for 100 - 240 volts at 50 or 60 Hertz.Select a SiteSelect a printer site that meets all of the following requirements:• Permits complete opening of the printer cover and doors.• For cabinet models, allows at least three feet of clearance behind theprinter. (This permits air to circulate freely around the printer and providesaccess to the paper stacking area.)• For pedestal models, DO NOT place the side of the printer (inlet and exitair vents) against a wall or other object. A minimum of 6 inch spacing isrecommended.• Has a standard power outlet that supplies 100-135 Volts AC or 178-240Volts AC power, at 47 to 63 Hz.• Is relatively dust-free.• Has a temperature range of 10° C to 40° C (50° F to 104° F) and arelative humidity from 15% to 90% non-condensing.
