HP Designjet Z3200 Setup Poster

Read these instructions carefully...

What you will need for this
procedure

• Because the printer is heavy, you may
need three people to unpack it. When
more than one person is needed, this
symbol is displayed.

• To assemble the printer you will need at
least 1 x 2 m (40 x 80 in) of empty floor
space.

*Whenever you see this icon, you can find
an animation illustrating the procedure on
the HP Start-Up Kit DVD.

Printer working area

Before you start unpacking, consider where
you are going to put the assembled printer.
You should allow some clear space on all
sides of the printer box. The recommended
clearances are shown in the illustration
above.

Note: If your printer is 24-in without
stand, remove the printer box
and the accessories box, place
the printer on a table and remove
the desiccant bag from below the
printer. Then go to step 32.

prompted to select the language of the
printer.

54

57

Shake each ink cartridge for about
10 seconds before unwrapping it.

Open the cover on the right-hand side of
the printer.

56

Then the printer checks for the presence of
ink cartridges. On finding none, it prompts
you to install the ink cartridges.

55

Insert the ink cartridges one by one. Each
cartridge is marked with its own color, and
should be inserted only into the slot of the
same color. Avoid touching pins, leads or
circuits.

58

1.2 set up troja Asia NEW.indd 8 26/06/2008 11:16:08 AM

The cartridges must be inserted the right
way around: the ink outlet in the cartridge
should meet the ink inlet in the slot. Push
the cartridge into the slot until it clicks
into place. The printer beeps whenever a
cartridge is successfully inserted.

Open the window and grasp the blue
handle of the printhead cover.

59 60

61

62

When you have inserted the correct
cartridges into the right-hand side of the
printer, open the cover on the left-hand
side and insert the other cartridges there.

Install the printheads

When you have inserted all of the ink
cartridges correctly, the printer must pre­pare the ink system for its first use. It will
do this immediately if you press the OK
key, or after a 60-second pause if you do
not press the OK key. When the ink system
is ready, the front panel will prompt you to
open the window.

The front panel prompts you to remove the
setup printheads and press the OK key
when you have finished.

65

Pull the blue handle towards you as far as
it will go.

63

Lift the handle up to open the printhead
co ver.

step: removing the printheads. Do not
press OK until you have removed all the
printheads.

64

Remove and discard all orange setup
printheads.You may need to use force to
extract each printhead.
The setup printheads contain ink, which
could leak out. Avoid touching pins, leads
or circuits.

66

1.2 set up troja Asia NEW.indd 9 26/06/2008 11:16:09 AM

Press the OK key on the front panel when
you have removed all of the setup print­heads. The front panel then prompts you to
install the new printheads.

Shake each new printhead before
unwrapping it. This will reduce the time
the printer takes to check the printheads
later.

After shaking, unwrap each printhead. Remove all orange parts.

67 68 69 70

Pull the blue handle towards you as far
as it will go, picking up the latch in the
process.

73

Insert the printheads one by one. Each
printhead is marked with its own colors,
and should be inserted only into the
correct slot marked with the same colors.
Insert the printheads with the blue handle
towards you.

71

Push each printhead into the slot until it
clicks into place. The front panel tells you
whether the printhead has been inserted
correctly.

72

Push the handle down on top of the
printhead cover.
The printer checks and prepares the new
printheads, which may take 30 to 40
minutes depending on the condition of the
printheads and of the environment.

Close the window.

74

1.2 set up troja Asia NEW.indd 10 26/06/2008 11:16:10 AM

While the printer is preparing the
printheads, you could spend the time
installing the printer software on your
computer.
Be sure to follow the software
installation instructions. Connecting your
printer before installing the software can
lead to printer errors.

75

Remove the spindle by lifting out first the
right-hand end, then the left.

78

Once the printhead check has finished the
printer will be ready to load paper for the
printhead alignment.

76

Load a roll of paper

When the front panel prompts you to load
paper for printhead alignment, go to the
rear of the printer, and remove the orange
stoppers from each end of the spindle and
the orange tape.

77

Replace the spindle into the printer, left end
first, with the fixed stop on the left and the
blue removable stop on the right.

81

If the blue removable stop is on the
spindle, remove it.
Put the roll onto the spindle, making
sure to put it on the right way round: the
leading edge of the paper should go into
the printer from the top of the roll.
Add the removable stop to the spindle to
keep the roll in place.

Push the removable stop towards the roll
as far as it will go.

No gap should be left between
stop and paper.

8 0 79

Feed the leading edge of the paper into
the printer until the printer takes hold of it.
Then move to the front of the printer.

82

Align the printheads

1.2 set up troja Asia NEW.indd 11 26/06/2008 11:16:11 AM

The front panel will display a series of
messages showing the progress of the
printhead alignment. There is no need to
take any action until the alignment has
finished, when you will see the message
shown below. Press the OK key.

84

The front panel will ask whether you are
loading roll or sheet paper. The printer will
proceed to align the printheads. This proc­ess involves printing, and therefore needs
to use some paper.

83

You can now, or at some later time, color­calibrate the paper type that you intend
to use in the printer. Color calibration is
recommended for accurate color printing.
It can be started from the Printer Utility
program installed as part of your printer
software, or from the front panel’s Image
Quality Maintenance menu.
