Appendix 1: Installation & Setting Up
This appendix is to help you install and set up the printer. Normally this procedure will be carried out
by EC-JET Service Engineers when commissioning a new printer.
These notes are provided as a guide to be used if the printer is relocated or changes are made to
ancillary equipment. Guarding and safety interlocks should all be in place and working correctly. EC-
JET can accept no liability for damage to either machine or personnel in the event of the printer being
installed, moved or maintained by unauthorised and/or untrained personnel. If you are unsure of any
procedure it is recommended that you contact your local EC-JET distributor.

240 V at 50/60 Hz. This means that any AC voltage within this range will power the printer satisfactorily.
Please check that the details shown on the label at the rear of the printer match your power source before
switching on.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure the power-on switch is in the off position.
The power rating of the printer is 200 VA.
