4 Planning the Installation
Choosing a Location
Theperformanceoftheprinterandoptionallaminatorisstronglyinfluencedbytheinstallation
location.Installtheunit(s)inalocationthatmeetsthefollowingcriteria:
 Installtheprinterinalocationthatmeetsorex ceedsISO14611‐1Class8cleanliness
standards.Usingtheprinterindustylocationsmaycauseprintblurringandprinthead
malfunctions.
 Powerofftheprinterwhenprintingisnotbeingperformed.Leavingpoweronforlong
periodswithoutprintingmayallowfinedusttocollectinsidetheprinter,causingprint
blurringandcausingdusttoadheretocards.
 Avoidlocationssusceptibletostrongvibrationorshock.
 Avoidlocationsexposedtodirectsunlight.
 Avoidlocationswherethereisapossibilityofmetalobjectsorotherforeignmaterial
enteringtheprinter.
 Avoidareasnearwallswithlittleventilation.Referto“VentilationClearance”onpage 5.
 Avoidunstablelocationsandangledsurfaces.
 Avoidlocationspronetostaticelectricity,suchasacarpetedroom.
 Avoidareasnearairconditioners,humidifiers,orheatsourcesthatmaycausecondensation
withintheprinter.
Operating Environment
Installtheprinterinanenvironmentwiththefollowingrecommendedtemperatureandhumidity
range:
 Temperature:59°–86°F(15°–30°C),or63°–83°F(17°–28°C)ifusingpeel‐off(PO)orUVink.
 Humidity:35%–70%,non‐condensing,or35%–60%ifusingpeel‐offorUVink.
Security
BoththeSR200&SR300printersandtheLM200&LM300laminatorshaveslotsforcable‐type
securitylocks.Ifyouplantouseacablelock,selectalocationthatprovidesasecureplaceto
fastenthecables.
Caution:Usingtheprinterinanenvironmentwithtemperaturesthatarecoolerthan
therecommendedrangecancauseretransfererrors.Usingtheprinterinan
environmentwithtemperaturesthatarewarmerthantherecommendedrangecan
causeerrorssuchascardwarpingandwrinklingofthefilm.
