About Adobe Acrobat Reader

QMS magicolor 2 Print System Docu-

CD-ROMs are in Adobe Acro-

Adobe Acrobat PDF-formatted manuals give you more flexibility and convenience than do hardcopy manuals when you have to access information. Here are some of the advantages PDF-formatted manuals provide:

n You can store the PDF manuals in a central location for access by

anyone on the network.

n You can view and print the manuals on Windows, Macintosh, and

UNIX platforms.

n You can view the manuals on web browsers using the Acrobat

plug-in.

1-5Introduction

About the Documentation

n You can view the manuals on-screen in different forma ts (side-

by-side or two-up, one page at a time, scrolling two-up, article flow, and zooming capability up to 800%).

n You can conduct full-text searches through all of the manuals. n You can watch QuickTime video clips on Windows and Macintosh

platforms that enhance the text and illustrati ons for a numbe r of commonly performed procedures. (When installing the Reader, be sure to select the option to install QuickTime.)

n You can print only the manual pages that you need. n The PDF-formatted manuals have been enhanced for on-screen

viewing and navigation. Throughout each manual are numerous hotlinks to cross-reference points. The table of contents and the index are fully hotlinked to their respective page references, and all World Wide Web addresses are linked to their respective home pages.

We hope you enjoy using the Acrobat software to access the information in your manuals. They’ll never become dog-eared and yellowed or collect dust on some forgotten shelf with quick on-line access. Your PDF-formatted manuals will empower you to take full advantage of all the capabilities of your printer.

Using Adobe Acrobat Reader

When you use Acrobat to view your manuals, keep the following tips in mind for using some of the navigation features built into Acrobat and your manuals.

n You may view the document in three different styles: page only,

with bookmarks, or with thumbnails. Try each to see which you like best. Viewing with bookmarks will enable you to use a quick table of contents to move around the document.

n The toolbar also gives you quick access to page navigation fea-

tures. For example, you may click a button to advance (>) or reverse (<) one page, go to the start (|<) or end (>|) of the document, or use the history button (<<) to go to the previous pages you viewed. There are other buttons in the toolbar to change view or magnification of the document.

Introduction

This chapter explains how to set up your printer for the first time. It includes information on finding a good location for the printer, unpacking and checking the shipment contents, installing consumables (toner cartridges, OPC belt cartridge, fuser oil bottle, and cleaning pad), loading the media cassette, turning the printer on, and printing a start-up page.

Finding a Good Location

Location Requirements

n With enough space to allow adequate

ventilatio n a nd eas y servicing.

n Awa y from cooling and heating

sources, extreme temperature changes, direct sunli gh t, excessive dust, corrosive chemicals or vapors, water pipe s , re f rigerators, and any strong electromagnetic field (such as that created by an air conditioner),

n Away from items that can easily burn

(such as curtains) and items that produce excessive vibration.

n In an area with a temperature range

of 50°–90.5° F (10°–32.5° C) and relative humidity range of 20%–80%.

n At an altitude of 0–8202' (0–2500 m). n On a hard, level surface capable of

supporting the 79 lb (36 kg) printer . The printer must be placed within

1.5° of level.

6 4"/10 cm

Finding a Good Location

n In a well-ventilated room. n Close to an easily accessible power supply. Don’t connect it to the

same electrical outl et as noi se -g ene ratin g equipment.

n Near your computer—6.5' (2 m) or less for an IEEE 1284 direc-

tional parallel connection; cables for other connections may be longer.

Power Requirements

n Your printer requires a properly grounded AC outlet with a rated

line voltage of 100 V, 120 V, or 220-240 V.

n The line voltage must remain within ±10 percent of the rated volt-

age for proper operation of the printer.

n The amperage capacity of the electrical outlet must be at least

1.2 times that used by the printer.

n The maximum electrical current required during operation is 10

amps for a 100 V system, 8.3 amps for a 120 V system, and 4 amps for a 220-240 V system.

n Noise-generating equipment should not be connected to the same

electrical outlet as the printer.

n The recommended frequency is 50–60 Hz ±2 Hz for a 100 V sys-

tem, 60 Hz ±2 Hz for a 120 V system, and 50 Hz ±2 Hz for a 220-240 V system.
