Unpacking and Assembling the Printer

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the illustrations in this manual show the S30670, but the instructions apply to
all three models.
Before beginning assembly, make sure you have sufficient space to set up and use the printer. The following illustration shows the minimum space required for using the printer:
3.9 in (100 mm)
19.7 in (500 mm)
142.5 in (3620 mm)
39.4 in (1000 mm)
39.4 in (1000 mm)
114.3 in (2903 mm)
19.7 in (500 mm)
68.9 in (1750 mm)
When choosing a place for the printer, leave adequate room for easy access and ventilation. Avoid locations subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity, or dust. Be sure the printer is placed on a flat, stable location that can support the following weight for each printer:
S30670 - 483 lb (219 kg)
S50670 - 524 lb (238 kg)
S70670 - 504 lb (229 kg)
WARNING: Six people are required to unpack and install the printer.
You need an even larger floor space to assemble the printer and stand, so be sure to prepare a large, clear area before unpacking them. Also make sure you save the box and packaging in case you need to ship the printer later.

English

Installing the Printer

You need six people to install the printer; four people to carry it and two people to position it on the stand. Use the carry bars that come with the printer to lift and move the printer.
8 | Installing the Printer
1. From the front of the printer, insert the carry bars into both sides with the locking bolts toward the
ground as shown. Once they are inserted, rotate the bars counterclockwise 180° to lock them into
place. This keeps the printer from sliding when lifted.
Caution: Before installing the printer, make sure the stand is fixed in place. To fix the stand, rotate the feet
to the right, until they’re firmly placed on the ground and lock the casters.

2. Lift the printer onto the stand. Line up the marks on the bottom of the printer with the arrows on the
top of the stand legs before setting the printer down and removing the carry bars.
3. Attach the printer to the stand using three A screws and washers.
English

4. Feed the waste ink tube through the hole in the frame and secure in place. Make sure to pull the waste
ink tube down far enough so that the attached zip ties rest under the bottom bracket clip as shown.
5. Remove the lid from the waste ink tank and install the tank into the brackets. Make sure the waste ink
tube is inserted in the opening.
Note: Keep the lid for the waste ink tank. The tank must be sealed properly for disposal.

horizontal struts to the back of the printer. Place the cable in the cable supports and plug it in, making
sure to tighten the screws on the plug to secure it in place.
4. Connect the power cords to the printer and use the cable supports to restrain the cords as shown.
5. Plug the printer into outlets that are easily accessible. Note that two outlets are required, for a total of
20 amps. It is recommended that the outlets be powered by a dedicated 30-amp circuit.
Adjusting the Media System | 17

Adjusting the Media System

After completing printer assembly, use the included roll core and adjustment paper to perform parallel adjustment of the take-in and take-up reel. This ensures that the media will be fed straight and helps reduce printing errors. The operation requires two people to perform any necessary adjustments in tandem from the front and the back of the printer. Make sure the printer is leveled and on a level surface.

Adjusting the Take-in Reel

1. Open the front cover of the printer and remove the tape from the inside.
English
2. Push the media loading lever back as shown.

6. Slide the adjustment paper to the right side of the roll core and feed it into the printer.
7. From the front of the printer, pull the adjustment paper taut over the platen, align a ruler with the side
closest to you (front) of the white line and mark the adjustment paper with a pen.
English
8. From the back of the printer, pull out the adjustment paper, move it to the left end of the roll core and
insert it into the printer. Be sure to pull it taut with the same amount of force as before.
20 | Adjusting the Take-in Reel

10. From the front of the printer, have one person compare the line you drew in step 7 to the white line
on the platen. To make adjustments, have another person at the back of the printer turn the silver
adjustment screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise to move the drawn line back, and turn it
clockwise to move the drawn line forward. The line will move approximately 1 mm with each turn of
the screw. Continue to turn the silver adjustment screw until the drawn line reaches the front of the
white line as shown.

adjustment paper is taut. If the line you drew is not aligned with the white line as shown, go to step 6.
If the lines are aligned, go to step 7.
English
6. From the front of the printer, have one person compare the line you drew in step 3 to the white line
on the platen. To make adjustments, have another person at the back of the printer turn the
adjustment screw. Turn the screw clockwise to move the drawn line back, and turn it

Choosing a Color Mode (S50670 and S70670 only) | 27

Choosing a Color Mode (S50670 and S70670 only)

Turn the printer on and configure the initial settings such as language and date using the control panel (for more information, see your User’s Guide). Before loading the ink cartridges, you must first choose a color mode. By selecting a mode with more colors, you can install white ink cartridges (S50670) or both white and metallic silver ink cartridges (S70670). You can choose from the following color modes:
4-color or 5-color (S50670)
8-color or 10-color (S70670)
Caution: The color mode cannot be changed once a selection has been made.
No matter which color mode you choose, note that you must purchase an ink starter pack that contains 10 cleaning cartridges as well as the ink cartridges for your configuration.

Installing Ink Cartridges

Before loading the ink cartridges, you will first need to wash the print head.
Note: If you selected the 4-color (S50670) or 8-color (S70670) Color Mode, you need to use the Replacement Cartridges to fill in the empty cartridge slots.These cartridges do not have ink in them and will not need to be replaced with the other ink cartridges.
English

Unpack the cleaning cartridges and, when prompted, install each one by sliding the cartridge into the
slot and pushing the lever down to lock it in place, as shown on page 28.
Note: You do not need to shake the cleaning cartridges.
2.
Follow the instructions on the control panel to charge and discharge the cleaning liquid.
3. Remove the cleaning cartridges by lifting the lever and sliding the cartridge out.
