Choose a location for the printer that meets these requirements: Temperature Operation 68 to 90 °F (20 to 32 °C) Humidity (without condensation) 40 to 60% RH Storage 14 to 104 °F (-10 to 40 °C) (4 days at 90 °F [32 °C]) 20 to 80% RH (stored in shipping container) Electrical Requirements You will need three electrical outlets to plug in the printer, heater, and take-up roller (do not use a power strip). It is recommended that the outlets be powered by a dedicated 30-amp circuit. Typical power consumption while printing is about 680 watts. Make sure your electrical system meets the requirements shown to the right. Specification Voltage Frequency Current Description 110 to 120 V 50 to 60 Hz 23.5 A Computer Requirements Make sure your computers meet these requirements for using the ColorBurst® RIP: Server Workstation: • Windows Vista® (recommended) or Windows® XP (32-bit)* • 2.8 GHz Intel® Core™ 2 Duo or better • 4GB memory recommended Client Workstation(s): • Mac OS® X 10.4.11 or higher • Windows Vista or Windows XP (32- or 64-bit)* * Windows XP "Classic Mode" may not be used. We recommend that you use a Cat 6 Ethernet cable and connect the printer through your network, instead of using USB. Tools and Supplies You'll need the following tools and supplies: • No. 2 (medium) Phillips screwdriver Required to assemble the stand. • Lifting bars (optional) Two 5-foot lengths of 1-inch steel pipe (available at hardware stores) will make it easier to lift the printer onto its stand. Caution: The printer without its stand weighs 330 lb (150 kg). Six or more people are required to lift and guide it onto the stand. • Metric ruler You'll need a steel ruler with divisions in millimeters (at least 500 mm long, or one-half meter) to perform the line feed adjustment. For more information, see Chapter 2 in the Setup and Use Guide. • Printable media You'll need a supply of media to perform certain adjustments. We recommend using adhesive-backed vinyl, available from companies such as 3M, Avery, or Epson. You may also need a box cutter to unpack the printer and to cut media, a loupe to read alignment patterns, and a spectrophotometer to linearize your color output.
