Unpacking and assembling the printer

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the illustrations in this guide show the SureColor® P8000/P9000, but the

instructions apply to all models.

Follow these steps to assemble your printer and its stand.

Before you begin, make sure you have enough space to set up and use the printer—at least 12 inches (305 mm) on all sides in addition to the dimensions of the printer and stand:

• 53.4 × 35.6 inches (1356 × 903 mm) for the SC-P6000/SC-P7000

• 73.4 × 52 inches (1864 × 1318 mm) for the SC-P8000/SC-P9000

When choosing a place for the printer, choose a flat, stable location with adequate room for easy access and ventilation. Avoid locations subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Also avoid locations near potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers, cordless phones, TVs, or air conditioners.

WARNING: Four people are required to unpack and install the printer.

You need additional floor space to assemble the printer and stand, so be sure to prepare a large, empty area before unpacking them. For assembly, you need floor space of approximately:

• 8 × 8 feet (2.4 × 2.4 m) for the SC-P6000/SC-P7000 and stand

• 13 × 13 feet (4 × 4 m) for the SC-P8000/SC-P9000 and stand

Note: Make sure you save the box and packaging in case you need to ship the printer.

For the SC-P7000/SC-P9000, the ink cartridges included in the box depend on which version of the printer you purchased. The Standard edition includes the Light Light Black (LLK) cartridge, while the Commercial edition includes the Violet (V) cartridge.
