For optimal printer operation, the three-phase system must have a maximum variation equal to or lower than 3% voltage unbalance, and 5% voltage sag. If the maximum variation is not within this range, print quality and printer operation may be affected. Contact your electricity supplier to remedy any voltage unbalance or sag. To avoid certain specific system errors in some cases, such as 15.8:10 or 16.8:10, you are recommended to have no more than 10 V variation in the three-phase line (line to line).

Powerline disturbances
Reliable operation of your printer depends on the availability of relatively noise-free AC power.
In order to ensure optimum performance and reliability, your printer should be protected from
variations in line voltage, which are common to production printing environments. Lighting, line
faults, or the power switching commonly found in machinery in factory environments can generate
line transients that far exceed the peak value of the applied voltage. If not reduced, these micro-
second pulses can disrupt system operation.
If the power line supplying the installation site is a public low voltage line shared with other users,
the power line impedance at 50 Hz must be less than 34 m
, to comply with European
regulations. If other users on the same power line report any flickering of incandescent light bulbs,
contact your electricity supplier to verify that the power network has an impedance lower than the
one specified above.
It is recommended to include overvoltage (OVP) and transient protection on the power supply to
the printer.
All electrical noise generating equipment, like fans, fluorescent lighting, and air-conditioning
systems, should be kept separate from the power source used for your printer.
The heating and curing lamps are powered by the three-phase AC lines. For optimal printer
operation, the three-phase system must have a maximum variation equal to or lower than 3%
voltage unbalance, and 5% voltage sag. If the maximum variation is not within this range, print
quality and printer operation may be affected. Contact your electricity supplier to remedy any
voltage unbalance or sag.
To avoid certain specific system errors in some cases, such as 15.8:10 or 16.8:10, you are
recommended to have no more than 10 V variation in the three-phase line (line to line).
