DEClaser 2200 Printer

This document is the DEClaser 2200 Printer Installation Guide, published by Digital Equipment Corporation in June 1990. Its primary purpose is to guide users through the complete installation process of the DEClaser 2200 nonimpact, desktop page printer, ensuring it is set up and operating correctly.

The guide covers the following key areas:

1. Site Preparation: Details power requirements (voltage, frequency, amperage, and a dedicated circuit), optimal operating location (flat, level, ventilated, accessible, free from vibrations), and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dust, and avoiding condensation).
2. Unpacking the Printer: Provides an inventory of included items and step-by-step instructions for unpacking, emphasizing the critical removal of all packing materials and spacers before powering on.
3. Initial Cleaning: Describes how to perform an initial cleaning of the fixing assembly roller to remove shipping dust.
4. Installing the EP-S Cartridge: Gives instructions and cautions for handling and installing the electrophotographic supplies (EP-S) cartridge.
5. Loading Paper: Explains how to load paper into the cassettes, advising against overfilling.
6. Connecting the Printer: Details how to connect the printer to a host device (supporting both serial and parallel interfaces) and a power source, including warnings about matching voltage and not using adapter plugs.
7. Verifying the Installation: Guides the user through checking the printer mechanism's warm-up sequence and performing self-tests to produce test prints, confirming proper functionality.
8. Cabling Information (Appendix): Provides detailed information on cable and adapter combinations for connecting the printer to various host devices (e.g., VAXstation, IBM PC/AT) and interface programming instructions for serial and parallel communication.

The document also includes important safety information, such as FCC notices regarding radio frequency interference, laser safety (identifying it as a Class 1 laser product), and ozone safety (emphasizing the necessity of the ozone filter).
