2 System Requirements
NOTE The LightJet® 430 is a digital photo printer intended for operation under conditions
of a controlled environment. Photo printers are classified as information technology
equipment (ITE), and are subject to applicable ITE test and working environment
standards. Deployment of this equipment in an environment or under conditions other
than specified and/or recommended may result in degradation of machine
performance.
Receiving and Moving the LightJet®430
Receiving the Shipping Crate
The LightJet®430 is a delicate precision piece of equipment that requires special handling.
Consequently, it is essential to have the proper equipment available for handling and moving the
shipping crate. The printer is shipped in a wooden crate with the dimensions shown in Figure 2-
1. The loaded crate weighs approximately 970 kg (2134 lb). It is the customer’s responsibility to
provide a forklift large enough to lift 1200 kg (~2500 lb). The crate is equipped with shock
watches and can be fork-lifted from the front or rear sides only.
Receiving the equipment will be easiest in facilities with loading docks. It is recommended that
customers without a loading dock arrange for the equipment to be uncrated at a local moving
company's warehouse before moving it to the site1.
The crate comes equipped with a ramp that allows the LightJet®430 to be rolled out of the crate
on its casters. The machine must be uncrated by a qualified service engineer.
Notes:
1Please indicate clearly on the pre-site checklist whether the equipment can be uncrated at the installation
site.

Figure 2-1 LightJet®430 shipping crate dimensions.
Hallway Requirements
Once uncrated, the LightJet®430 can be rolled on its own casters. The printer weighs
approximately 818 kg (1800 lb). To prevent collisions and/or damage, it is recommended that at
least two people move it. The equipment will roll most easily on level concrete or tile floors; this
should be considered when selecting the installation route and final location. The dimensions of
the LightJet®430 are shown in Figure 2-2.1Figure 2-3 illustrates minimum size requirements for
the installation route.
To provide reasonable access around corners, the hallways and doorways must be a minimum of
213 cm (7’) wide. If the approach from the hallway is straight through the doorway, the doorway
must be a minimum of 183 cm (6’). Figure 2-3 illustrates the hallway and access door sizes
required to move the LightJet®430 from the receiving dock to the darkroom.
Notes:
1When the media door is open, the printer is 224 cm (88”) wide x 193 cm (76”) long x 150 cm (59”) deep.

Darkroom Requirements
The LightJet®430 must be installed in a darkroom environment to allow for loading and
unloading of photographic media. With the covers closed, the printer can operate under lighting
conditions found in a normal working environment. The room size required is illustrated in
Figure 2-4.1The room dimensions specified are minimum requirements and must not be
reduced.2
Notes:
1This requirement assumes that the rear of the machine is placed 15 cm (6”) from one wall, as illustrated.
This gap between the wall and printer is necessary for sufficient air circulation.
2The minimum room size listed here accommodates installation, direct operation and servicing of the
LightJet®430. Any additional equipment housed in the room will increase space requirements accordingly.

Power Factor Correction
LightJet®430 meets EN61000-3-2. The use of power factor correction reduces line frequency
harmonic currents to within acceptable limits.
GFI Circuit Breakers
Due to the use of electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters required to meet conducted radio
frequency emission standards, the system is not compatible with ground fault interrupting (GFI)
circuit breakers. Use standard thermal circuit breakers where possible.1
For protection of personnel and equipment, use an appropriately rated and protected AC circuit
to supply power to the LightJet®430.
AC Distribution Circuit
The LightJet®430 requires a dedicated AC distribution circuit, which means a separate branch
circuit with an individual circuit protection device.
Grounding
The LightJet®430 requires an isolated ground, which means an insulated equipment grounding
conductor running with the supply conductors. The ground conductor is connected to the
equipment grounding bus in the main service panel or in a separately derived system such as a
constant voltage transformer, if one is to be used.
Notes:
1If standard thermal circuit breakers are used (standard in private homes and most office environments,
there is a potential for nuisance tripping of the breaker due to inrush currents during equipment start-up. If
this becomes a problem, we recommend the use of a breaker with higher inrush current capabilities or a
circuit breaker designed for thermal-magnetic operation.

System Requirements
45572-I see copyright, disclosure, use and duplication information on pg. iii 2-
7
Separate, full-size insulated power and ground wires are required on all dedicated circuits. No
chained grounds are permitted.1Use of the conduit as the equipment grounding conductor is not
permitted on isolated ground receptacles.2

Environmental Requirements
Heat Removal
The LightJet®430 can produce up to 8200 BTU per hour (2380 watts) and must have adequate
heat removal. Ensure the darkroom is equipped as follows:
A dedicated 3” (76mm) unrestricted air duct and flexible hose (max. length-15’ or 4.6 m)
directing the heated air out of the darkroom. This will remove 5000 BTU per hour (1440
watts) from the machine. Use metal or plastic clamps to secure the hose to the machine. As
shown in Figure 2-5, locate the air duct on the wall behind the machine or in the ceiling.
Air conditioning, capable of removing the remaining 3200 BTU per hour (940 watts)
generated by the machine.
If the 3” (76 mm) duct is not used, an air conditioning system capable of removing 8200
BTU per hour (2380 watts) must be used.

House Air
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide compressed air to the LightJet®430. As shown in
Figure 2-6, a 6.35 mm (1/4”) hose (no fittings required) is required to deliver compressed air to
the printer.
6.35 mm (1/4") hose
Figure 2-6 Right side connections.
The air supply must meet the following minimum requirements:
Volume flow - 1 CFM
Pressure - 70 psi regulated
Air supplied to the machine must pass through an air preparation unit that contains the
following:
Air filter - 5.0 micron element complete with an auto drain
Coalescing filter - 99.97% coalescing efficiency with an auto drain
Regulator - complete with pressure gauge
Levered (¼ turn) ball valve (optional) - turns the air off
NOTE If anything other than clean dry air is sent to the air bearings in the micropositioner,
the air ports within the micropositioner can become clogged. There is no way to repair
this in the field and the entire LightJet must be returned to the factory for repair.

Environmental Operating Specifications
Temperature: 19ºC to 28ºC (66ºF to 82ºF) within a 5ºC band
Relative humidity: 40% to 60%
Altitude: 0 to 2 286 meters (0 to 7 500 feet )
Shipping and Storage
These specifications apply to any LightJet®430 shipped and stored in its own crate.
Temperature: -30ºC to +50ºC (-22ºF to +122ºF)
Relative humidity: 0% to 95%, non-condensing
Altitude: 0 to 10 668 meters (0 to 35 000 feet)
The machine should not be stored longer than 1 month in an environment with a relative
humidity greater than 60%.
Shock and Vibration
The LightJet®430 functions normally in a typical office or photolab environment. Vibrations
generated by office equipment such as photocopiers and film or paper processors will produce no
visible image artifacts.
Vibrations generated from machinery such as air compressors and pumps may affect image
quality and are not considered part of an acceptable operating environment. It may be necessary
to consult a third party to isolate the source of such vibrations.
It is recommended that the LightJet®430 be installed on a stiff, well supported floor (a concrete
floor is ideal) to minimize transmission of vibration and shock to the machine from other
equipment. A poorly supported floor may transmit shock loads to the machine from people or
equipment moving by. Covering high traffic walkways with thick foam underlay and carpet may
minimize such effects. In some cases, it may be necessary to consult a third party to recommend
building improvements to reduce the effects of shock and vibration.
Occasional shock and vibration generated from seismic activity or other sources, such as a train
going by on a nearby railway, are not considered part of a normal operating environment. The
printer, however, will withstand these influences with no permanent effects on operating
specifications. Printing may have to be suspended during such periods.
Packed in its crate, the LightJet®430 can withstand normal vibrations from road or air travel.
Severe shock, however, may damage the precision optical and mechanical components within the
machine. The shipping crate is fitted with shock watches that turn from white to red when their
