Paper Stacker iPS F44
1.1 Requirements to the location of the printer
In this chapter the preconditions are described concerning the environment, the
physical prerequisites, and the demand for space which are required for installation
of the printer.
1.1.1 Environmental conditions
S Temperature and Humidity
The following table shows the values of temperature and relative humidity which
are specified for the printer and its consumables.
Temperature Relative Humidity
Print operation *
Optimum range
+10 to +23°C
+50 to +73.4°F 15 to 45%
Print operation
Extended range
+10 to +35°C
+59 to +95°F 15 to 85%
Transport and storage
of the printer
0 to +35°C
+32 to +95°F
max. 85% (at 40°C)
(104°F)
Transport and storage
Of the consumables **
0 to +35°C
+32 to +95°F
max. 85% (at 40°C)
(104°F)
Storage of fanfold paper *** +18 to +24°C
+64.4 to +75.2°F 40 to 60%
* The photoelectrical process in a laser printer is influenced by the climatic
conditions of the environment. The herewith specified values define a climate in
which an optimal print quality is ensured. Operating the printer outside this
range may lead to a reduction of the print quality.
** It is recommended to store the consumables at a cool and dark location.
*** The fanfold paper should be stored in the foil packaging (see also Section 8.2
Storing Media).
–Altitude
The printer can be used at an altitude up to 2,000 m (6,562 ft.).

–Air circulation
In general there are no restrictions concerning air circulation. However, it is to be
observed that the air flow does not move the fanfold paper heavily at the paper
entry and paper exit of the printer and such may lead to paper jams.
In conjunction with the paper stacking system care has to be taken that the air flow
does not disturb a proper operation of the stacker.
–Impact of Light and Sunshine
Since the printer is equipped with a light-sensitive photoconductor drum and
optical sensors it shall in generally not be installed at a location which is exposed
to sunlight. If not otherwise possible window shades have to provide for the
necessary protection.
Note: The printer must never be installed such that its right side (paper exit)
points to a window.
If the top cover is opened to clear a paper jam or to perform maintenance actions
sunbeams would directly fall onto the photoconductor drum and would
permanently destroy its surface after an impact period of about 1 minute.
–Acoustical noise
The upper limits of the acoustical noise are shown below.
– Print operation: < 60 dB(A)
– Stand-by: < 48 dB(A)
–Power dissipation
If an interruption of a print operation occurs the printer can enter the Power Save
mode when for a certain period of time whose duration is selected at the operator
panel the printer does not perform any further operation. In this mode most of the
printer´s subsystems are disconnected from power. The operating mode is
resumed when the printer receives further data from the host system.
Mode Power consumption
Operating < 800 Watt average
< 1.300 Watt max.
Stand-by < 110 Watt average
< 1.200 Watt max.
Sleep mode
(power save) < 45 Watt average
