Installation & Set Up
Disc Production Workspace
The workspace for the Xpress XL disc production system should be in an environment
free of dust and debris. Contamination can adversely affect production yield, degrade
the quality of the discs produced, and reduce the life of the equipment. A typical
office environment will provide the necessary cleanliness, temperature, and humidity
control required to maximize system performance and service life.
The workspace should have the following features:
Sturdy workspace
A working surface sturdy enough to support a total weight of 200 lbs.
Large workspace
A large enough workspace: a recommended minimum of
60” W x 48” D x 36” H, with 36” of clearance above. Also allow enough room on the
workspace for the monitor and keyboard.
Electrical power
The production system needs adequate power and enough power receptacles.
Ensure
that the power receptacles are properly grounded.
The average power require-
ment for the entire system is 250 watts. The peak requirement may reach 400 watts.
Microtech recommends using a surge protector and/or power conditioner for optimal
setup.
Adequate lighting
There should be enough light both for operating the equipment and for examining
the discs you produce and print. In addition, if the ImageAligner option is installed,
adequate lighting for the digital camera to capture disc images is recommended.
(Adequate light must be available even when the system is running jobs unattended
after-hours). Direct sunlight or spotlights can adversely affect the robotic sensors of
the Xpress XL as well as affecting the performance of the ImageAligner.
Document storage
Keep the documentation and software handy for future assistance, trouble shooting,
etc.
