IMPORTANT
•
Canon recommends an additional standard 120V/15A NEMA 5-15 outlet
for service tools, such as a laptop computer or vacuum that may be used
when servicing or configuring the machine.
•
Use only dedicated and properly grounded outlets for the imagePROGRAF
printer main unit. It is also strongly suggested to use dedicated and
properly grounded outlets for each optional accessory. Do not use
extension cords. The ground connection serves to provide the internal
electronics with a reference voltage. Faulty or poor ground sources will
cause this reference voltage to fall into a range that no longer serves as a
reliable reference voltage. The internal logic and programming of the
imagePROGRAF printers will not perform reliably because there is an
insufficient difference between the internal operating signal voltages and
the poor ground reference signal. A qualified electrician can measure and
provide the ground source that the imagePROGRAF printers or any
computer controlled office equipment requires.
•
Before installation, confirm that all necessary receptacles are available.
•
Phase converters and step down transformers are not supported
