Pneumatic connector The printer comes with an air gun that you must attach to your air supply. In order to connect your air supply to the air gun, you must meet the following requirements: ● 6.35 mm (0.25 in) female connector, BSP or NPT thread ● PTFE tape to secure the connection and prevent air leaks WARNING! Take care when using the air gun. When used for cleaning purposes, make sure to use it according to the local regulations since additional safety provisions may apply Room and spacial requirements Temperature and humidity The temperature, humidity, and temperature gradient during operation and during storage must be kept within the standard ranges to ensure the correct operation of the printer. Failure to keep these environmental conditions within the standard ranges may cause image quality problems or damage sensitive electronic components. Printer environmental specifications Temperature range Humidity range Temperature gradient Operating for optimal print quality 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F) Operating for standard printing 15 to 30ºC Not operating (in transport or storage), ink in tubes 5 to 55°C (41 to 131°F) Not operating (in transport or storage), no ink in tubes -25 to 55°C (-13 to 131°F) 30 to 60% Relative Humidity 10°C/h (50°F/h) or less 20 to 70% 90% Relative Humidity at 55°C (131°F) 90% Relative Humidity at 55°C (131°F) 10°C/h (50°F/h) or less 10°C/h (50°F/h) or less 10°C/h (50°F/h) or less Maximum operating altitude: 3000 m (10000 ft) 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. Fresh air ventilation is needed to maintain comfort levels. For a more prescriptive approach to adequate ventilation, you could refer as guidance to the latest edition of the ANSI/ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) document 62.1: Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. Adequate ventilation needs to be provided to ensure that potential airborne exposure is adequately controlled according to Safety Data Sheets. Consult the Safety Data Sheets available at http://www.hp.com/go/msds to identify chemical ingredients of your ink consumables. Airborne materials can be readily identified and quantified by using established indoor air quality testing protocols. HP performs these assessments during the development phase for all products. 12 Chapter 2 Site preparation ENWW
