Making the T+ Server Computer Connections

Make sure that all the machines are unplugged from an AC outlet before connecting the cables. Always be aware of connectors that are ‘keyed’, pinned or shaped in a specific way. Inserting a connector or socket incorrectly could cause permanent damage to the equipment.
Begin the cable connection process after positioning the Copier/Printer(s) around the T+ Server. Install the cables and connectors in their respective connectors.

Hardware Key Assembly Installation

Warning:
Prior to installing the Hardware Key (Dongle) assembly, make sure that the T+ Server is not plugged in and the power switch is in the ‘off’ position.
WARNING: The dongle cable assembly must be plugged directly into the T+ Server as
assembled. Do not attempt to plug any peripheral device into the dongle cable assembly or plug the dongle cable assembly into any device other than the T+ Server. Doing so may cause damage to the dongles and will void any warranties.
The dongles will be attached to an extension cable.
The T+ Server Software can only run if a set of hardware keys (dongles) are installed.
1 Insert the the free end of the cable (indicated by an * on the graphic below) into the par-
allel connector (indicated by an ** on the graphic below) on the rear of the T+ Server. Be sure to note the orientation of the connector as it can be inserted in one direction only. There is no need to take apart the assembly.

PrintStation Interface Cables

Please read the Copier/Printer Installation Guides that are included with your system. After determining the location for the system and providing the appropriate electrical condi-
tions and network connections, you will be able to set up the T+ Server System. The PrintStation Interface Cable must be in the proper orientation prior to installation.
The socket is keyed to only accept the PrintStation Interface Cable connector in one direc­tion. Once the orientation is established, the connector will attach by simply pushing the con­nector through the cable guide bracket [I] and into the socket. The spring locks that secure the connector will snap around the latching pins [II] on the socket making an audible click sound.
The illustrations below show a T+ Server HostAdapter interface. Attaching and detaching of the cable connector at the PrintLink is very similar.
ATTACH
To remove a PrintStation Interface Cable from the socket, depress the metallic spring locks and pull the connector straight away from its mate.
DETACH

Cable Handling

Warning:
• The following is a universal guide for the T+ Server PrintStation Interface Cable installa­tion. These cables are specifically designed for the T+ Server System, do not substitute other cables. Proper care should be used when handling and installing the cables. The following instructions should be observed to avoid damage to the cables during use.
• THIS CABLE IS NOT TO BE ROUTED UNDER A RAISED FLOOR

1 Never pinch or bend any cables around sharp corners.
2 Never force a connector into a socket. It should connect without excessive force. If the
connector is difficult to insert into the socket, examine the connector for bent pins and make sure that connector is properly oriented so that it is easily received by the socket.
3 Always use the supplied strain relief clamps to maintain a straight connection between
connector and socket. Eliminate any twisting of the cable connectors.
4 Never attempt to remove a connector by pulling on the cable.

Making PrintStation Interface Cable Connections

Please observe the following instructions regarding PrintStation Interface Cable connections and cable management associated with the T+ Server. Gather the PrintStation Interface Cables on the right and secure them. Next, gather the PrintStation Interface Cables on the left and secure them.
Remember to allow enough slack in the cables on the T+ Server computer to create a service loop. This extra cable will help keep the connectors straight and level at the T+ Server.
In the event that there is a large amount of extra PrintStation Interface Cable left between any Copier/Printer and the T+ Server, coil the excess cable in a 12 inch (30 cm) loop and use the provided cable tie to secure the extra cable. The loop can be laid flat on the floor.
Once the cable connections are made, plug the power cords into the appropriate AC outlets. Inspect the arrangement of the cables to ensure that the cables are not pinched or pulling away from the machines.

Electrical Ratings

Power Requirements

Use an AC outlet that satisfies the following conditions:
100-127V ~ 6A 50/60 Hz OR 200-240V ~ 3A 50/60 Hz
12"
30 cm
8
When the AC outlet is unstable, use a voltage regulator. Do not plug the Copier/Printer into an outlet shared with an air conditioner, photocopier,
shredder or any other appliance, because the electrical noise produced may cause the Copier/Printer to malfunction. If unavoidable, install a noise filter or voltage transformer.
The Copier/Printer(s) and T+ Server computer are designed to be electrically grounded. The grounding-type plug will only fit a grounding-type AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If a ground­ing-type AC outlet is not available, contact a licensed electrician to replace the existing outlet with one that is properly grounded. Do not misuse the ground plug.
Warning:
• Do not overload the AC outlet and extension cords as this may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Route the power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them

Operating Environment

Place the T+ Server in a location where the following conditions are met:
• The location is flat and steady.
• The area around the T+ Server is well ventilated.
• Avoid placing the T+ Server in the following locations:
• In direct sunlight or near heat emitters, air conditioners or open flame.
• Near magnets or equipment generating magnetic fields.
• Areas subject to vibration.
• Dusty areas or places where the air contains high levels of salt or corrosive gases.
• Near water pipes and refrigerators.
In addition to the following information, check the Printer/Copier documentation for any special considerations or operating conditions required.
