Environmental specifications These environmental conditions must be kept within the specified ranges to ensure the correct operation of the printer. Failure to do so may cause print-quality problems or damage sensitive electronic components. Printer environmental specifications Relative humidity range for best print quality Relative humidity range for printing Temperature range for best print quality Temperature range for printing Temperature range when not in operation Temperature gradient Maximum altitude when printing 40-60%, depending on substrate type 20-80%, depending on substrate type 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F), depending on substrate type 15 to 30°C (59 to 86°F) −25 to +55°C (−13 to +131°F) no more than 10°C/h (18°F/h) 3000 m (10000 ft) NOTE: The printer must be kept indoors. NOTE: If the printer or ink cartridges are moved from a cold location to a warm and humid location, water from the atmosphere can condensate on the printer parts and cartridges and can result in ink leaks and printer errors. In this case, HP recommends that you wait at least 3 hours before turning on the printer or installing the ink cartridges, to allow the condensate to evaporate. In addition to controlling the temperature, humidity, and temperature gradient, there are other environmental conditions that must be met during site preparation. ● Do not install the printer where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or a strong light source. ● Do not install the printer in a dusty environment. Remove any accumulated dust before moving the printer into the area. Ventilation Ensure that the room in which the system is installed meets local environmental, health, and safety (EHS) guidelines and regulations. Adequate ventilation needs to be provided to ensure that potential exposure is adequately controlled. Consult the Safety Data Sheets available at http://www.hp.com/go/msds to identify chemical ingredients of your ink consumables. Levels of certain substances in their facilities are dependent on workspace variables they control such as room size, ventilation performance and duration of equipment use. Consult your EHS specialist for advice on the appropriate measures for your location. Air conditioning In addition to fresh air ventilation, to avoid health hazards, also consider maintaining workplace ambient levels by assuring the climatic operating conditions specified in this document (see Environmental specifications on page 4) to avoid operator's discomfort and equipment malfunction. Air conditioning in the work area should take into account that the equipment produces heat. Typically, the printer's power dissipation is: ● 2.2 kW (7.5 kBTU/h) for HP Latex 315 Printers ● 2.6 kW (8.9 kBTU/h) for HP Latex 335 Printer ● 4.6 kW (15.7 kBTU/h) for HP Latex 365/375 Printers Air conditioning should meet local environmental, health, and safety (EHS) guidelines and regulations. 4 Chapter 2 Site preparation requirements ENWW
