The whole base plate can be considered as a dangerous area when the printer is switched
on. The carriages can move from left to right and the yellow media sleeves are sharp and
can grab loose objects, clothing or body parts.
The printer measures the current through the motors constantly. If the machine detects
that the current is too high, then the current is cut off to the motors and a fatal error
message is displayed on the control panel.
Make sure to observe all the caution labels on the printer.
1.3.2 Operating environment
Environmental conditions can significantly affect the printer’s performance. High humidity,
high temperatures, direct sunlight and airborne contamination (dust) can adversely affect
print quality. The printer should be located away from windows and doors, preferably
within a clean interior room of a building.
Check for the following conditions when installing the DC5(sx):
Surface must be level without vibration
Operating temperature should be stable, between 15 - 27 degrees Celsius (60 to 80
degrees Fahrenheit).
Operating humidity should be stable, between 30% and 75%.
Area should not be prone to static electricity (no carpeted floors).
Be sure to allow enough space surrounding the printer for changing media rolls and
ribbons. At least 500mm (24 inches) on both sides, and 1000mm (40 inches) behind
and in front of the printer.
The printer uses a universal power supply that can operate from 100 to 240 volts
with a line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.
