Ambient conditions
The Gerber Solara ion 12 month product warranty requires the printer to be maintained in a
specific environment. If the system is operating outside of the environmental specifications, it
may result in system errors and/or shutdown. During the colder months of the year, especially
in dryer climates, be cognizant of the required environmental conditions (40% humidity
minimum/65F (18.5C) minimum). The operating environment must meet the following
conditions:
Temperature: 65F to 75F (18.5C to 24C)
Humidity: 40% - 60%, non-condensing
Ventilation: no special ventilation required
Avoid using printer near open windows, outside doors, or heating/cooling systems
Protect printer and ink pouches from moisture, dust, drafts, and direct sunlight
Noise level when operating vacuum table: ~77-78 Db
Note: Installations in which the Gerber Solara ion will be placed on carpeting require the use of
commercial or industrial rubber mats under and around the printer. This is to guard against
excessive static electricity potentially interrupting system operation.
Note: If you turn down the heat at night to a lower temperature than the specified operating
temperature, allow time for the printer and its internal components to warm to the proper
temperature before printing. Depending on the environment it may take several hours for the
dense metal components and ink in the system to warm to the specified operating temperature.
Power requirements
Gerber recommends that you leave the Gerber Solara ion powered on at all times. Do not turn
the printer off, even for extended periods of down time. If the printer will not be in use for
longer than two weeks, you must follow the special procedures described in “Shutting down
the printer to more than two weeks” on page 114.
