1-2 Operating Requirements
Operating
Requirements
Choose a location for the printer before you unpack it. Keep the
following requirements in mind:
Electrical • Use the supplied power cord. Plug it directly into a grounded
electrical outlet. Do not lengthen the power cord with an
extension cord; the resulting drop in voltage could damage
the printer.
• Make sure the line voltage meets the requirements: See
Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for details.
• To maintain vacuum to the printheads during printer power-
down or unexpected power outages, use the auxiliary 24 volt
power supply (included in the accessory kit with universal
power adapters). Connect the 24 VDC jack on the vacuum/
pressure assembly to either of two options:
• 1. UPS — customer-supplied uninterruptable power sup-
ply, output 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, minimum of 15 watts
of power, provides battery backup to the vacuum system
in the event of a power failure.
• 2. Wall outlet — 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, provides tem-
porary power to the vacuum system when it is necessary
to power down the printer for service. See Appendix A,
Technical Specifications, for details.
• Connect printer to its own electrical circuit. Do not connect
the RIP, auxiliary power supply, or UPS into the same circuit
as the printer.
