Important:
To avoid damage to the unit, read this
manual and follow the instructions
carefully.
Choosing a Place for the Printer
❏ Leave adequate room for easy operation,
maintenance and ventilation.
❏ Choose a location that can hold the printer
weight (about 132 kg with stand).
❏ Make sure the surface is flat and stable.
❏ Use a grounded power outlet; do not use a
damaged or frayed power cord. Avoid using
an outlet that is shared with other appliances.
❏ Use only an outlet that meets the power
requirements of this printer.
❏ Avoid locations near TVs, radios, air
conditioners, or humidifiers.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to shocks or
vibrations.
❏ Keep the printer away from combustible
substances.
❏ Keep the printer away from dusty areas.
Deciding Where to Unpack the Printer
❏ Setup and assemble the printer near to the
chosen place of use, as moving the printer may
result in damage.
❏ Allow floor space of 4 × 4 m approx., and
height of at least two times that of the larger
box containing the printer unit.
❏ Operate the printer under the following
conditions:
Temperature: 10 to 35ºC
Humidity 20 to 80% without condensation
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct
sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
❏ Do not block the ventilation openings.
Unpacking and Assembling the Base Unit
Unpacking the base unit
