Getting Started
This chapter shows you how to get started using your printer. It includes these topics:
Operating Requirements (page 1-2)
Installation Checklist (page 1-5)
Unpacking and Assembly (page 1-6)
Workflow Overview (page 1-14)
Parts Overview (page 1-15)
Special Features (page 1-18)
Getting Started 1-1
Operating Requirements
Choose a location for the printer before you unpack it. Keep the following requirements in mind:
Electrical
Environmental
See “Connecting Power and VideoNet” on page 1-11 for
detailed power requirements.
Use the supplied power cords. Plug them directly into a
grounded electrical outlet. Do not lengthen either power cord with an extension cord; the resulting voltage drop could damage the printer.
Make sure the line voltage does not vary more than 10
percent from the voltage marked on the back of the printer. Install a voltage regulator or similar device if the power source is not stable.
Unplug the printer during power failures. Wait for the power
to return before plugging it back in. Connect the print server into a separate circuit from the
printer.
Make sure the room is well ventilated, with a temperature
between 60° and 90° F (16° to 32° C). The relative humid­ity should be between 10 and 80 percent, non-condensing. Printing will slow automatically to aid drying in high humid­ity conditions.
Performance will improve slightly as conditions approach
70° F (21° C) and 50% relative humidity.
Store media and ink in an area with similar temperature and
humidity conditions as the printer.
Locate the printer close enough to the print server (RIP) so
that they can be connected with the required cable. Locate the printer on a flat, level surface; otherwise, printing
problems from improper ink flow could occur.
Locate the printer where its normal operating noise will not
disturb quiet work areas.
This printer is not intended for use in a computer room.
1-2 Operating Requirements
DO NOT install the printer near humidifiers, refrigerators,
water faucets, heaters or similar equipment.
DO NOT install the printer in areas where the temperature
changes abruptly, such as near air conditioners or in the path of direct sunlight.
DO NOT expose the printer to flames, dust or solvent
chemicals.
Refer to Appendix B for detailed specifications.
Important Operating
Notes
Wear cotton gloves (provided with each roll of ColorSpan
media) when loading media to prevent fingerprints that could show after printing.
Protect the media at all times from creases and tears, and
ensure that the media is cut cleanly.
DO NOT touch the print head’s ink jet nozzles (the metal
plate on the bottom of the ink cartridge) with your fingers. Any contaminants could clog the ink jet nozzles. The ink noz­zles may be cleaned with a lint-free cloth.
DO NOT touch the electrodes on the back of the ink car-
tridge. This could result in a faulty electrical connection, which would cause jets to misfire. If ink gets on the elec­trodes, clean them with a damp paper towel, or a lint-free cloth.
DO NOT set heavy objects on the power cord or printer
cable; do not bend the cables or force them into contorted positions.
DO NOT place heavy objects anywhere on the printer.

Workflow Overview
Here is how a typical print job progresses from the client work­station to the printer.
Print Server
1. An artist sends a file to be printed from a client workstation.
2. The print job is received by the print server.
Once it reaches the print server, the print job may be reprior­itized, combined with other jobs, re-routed, or otherwise manipulated. Refer to the print server online help or manual for instructions.
3. The print server RIPs the job.
The raster image processing (RIP) process translates the PostScript language data that comprises the print job into the data required by the printer.
4. The server sends the image to the printer for printing.
ColorMark Software RIP
1. An artist sends a file to to be printed to the ColorMark Software RIP.
2. The software RIPs the job.
The raster image processing (RIP) process translates the PostScript language data that comprises the print job into the data required by the printer.
3. The ColorMark Software RIP sends the image to the printer for printing.
