ENWWSystem configuration1
Safety information
UV light — the ultraviolet (UV) curing lamps emit high power UV light. The printer must be
●
operated with all safety shielding installed to protect the operator from eye and skin damage.
When operated according to manufacturer’s instructions, safety glasses or other protective
clothing are not necessary.
Mechanical hazards — Keep fingers away from carriage and media path. Use a fork lift truck to
●
lift the printer. Do not exceed the maximum weight load of the input or output tables, as printed
on the label.
Ink — read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
●
for the ink, and post the document in the work area as required by prevailing law. Avoid any
contact with skin and eyes. None of the component substances have established exposure
standards per OSHA, NIOSH or ACGIH. Collect waste ink in container provided. Dispose of ink
according to MSDS and local regulations. Keep the waste-ink spigot closed during printing.
Special ventilation is not required to meet US OSHA requirements on occupational exposure to
●
VOCs from the HP UV-curable inks used with the printer. Special ventilation equipment
installation is at the discretion of the customer; no specific HP recommendation is intended.
Customers should consult state and local requirements and regulations.
Electrical — WITH THE POWER SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION, POWER MAY STILL BE
●
SUPPLIED TO THE PRINTER COMPONENTS. To completely cut power from the printer, you
must unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Ozone — the high power UV light emitted by the curing lamps reacts with oxygen and produces
●
ozone. This formation tends to be greatest during lamp start-up. The lamps include ozone filters
to reduce ozone production. The printer should be operated in a well-ventilated area to avoid
minor effects such as headaches, fatigue, and dryness of the upper respiratory tract. Normal air
movement will mix the ozone with fresh air, causing it to revert back to oxygen.
Hazardous waste — THE PRINTER ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A LITHIUM
●
BATTERY DEVICE. THERE IS A DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY IS
INCORRECTLY REPLACED. The battery must be replaced only by authorized service
providers, and must be replaced only with the same or equivalent type. Dispose of this lithium
battery device in accordance with local, state (or province), and Federal (or country) solid waste
requirements.
2Chapter 1 IntroductionENWW
2Site planning
Installation time schedule
The average time required for installing the printer is two working days. This is based on the
assumption that all system parts have been delivered in proper working order, and that all site
preparation and planning requirements have been met and completed, in accordance with the
specifications and recommendations provided in this guide.
Installation and training has been divided into three stages, as shown in the table below. Although the
time schedule requires approximately five working days, the operator should nevertheless be awar e
of the possible need to extend the training period, in accordance with specific circumstances.
Table 2-1 Installation and training schedul e
StageDuration
Unpacking and Installation2 full working days
Basic training1.5 days
Practical training1.5 days
The printer operator must be available for the entire duration of all installation procedures, and must
attend the training sessions. The installer will require at least one additional person (usually the
printer operator) to assist during certain stages of the installation.
Electrical requirements
The required electric circuit must be installed by a qualified electrician before the printer can be
installed. The printer is supplied with the required power cord, which must not be lengthened or
connected to an extension cord. See
NOTE:Failure to prepare the electrical circuit as required will prolong the installation process until
the deficiencies are corrected. To avoid these delays, have a qualified electrician read th e
specifications section carefully, understand your facility's electrical power, and install the circuit per
the specifications.
The AC input provided to the printer must be clean and constant at the specified voltage and
frequency. The electronic control components are powered with a single-phase line that can be used
with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). HP highly recommends that you use a UPS to ensure
that the AC input power to the printer is continuously within specifications. The UPS must be a singlephase UPS capable of sourcing a minimum of 3000 VA, at a voltage in the range of 200-240 VAC,
50/60 Hz, and a maximum current rating of 12 Amps. The UPS must have the proper receptacle as
specified in this document. Connect the UPS to the facility wall outlet, and connect the printer power
cord to the UPS.
Locations with unstable electric power or frequent p ow e r ou ta ge s must use a UPS with the printer.
Specifications on page 12 for details.
CAUTION:The customer must ensure that the UPS is rated to meet the power requirements of the
printer, is in accordance with the wiring standards of the country of installation.
ENWWInstallation time schedule3
Facility requirements
When planning a site, attention to detail will help to ensure smooth installation of the printer. Special
considerations should be made in terms of any building construction or modifications required, as well
as to the time required for submission and approval of plans to the relevant local authorities.
The space selected should be suitable for the following activities:
Printing
●
Handling sheets and rolls of blank media
●
Handling printed output
●
Loading and changing ink
●
Servicing and cleaning the printer, and replacing components
●
Operating the external RIP, local area network, an d wor ksta tio ns
●
In considering the appropriate room layout of the print production area, take the following objec tives
into account, to help provide a safe and suitable working environment and facilitate a smooth and
productive work flow:
Space around the printer – sufficient access to work and load and unload large sheets or rolls of
●
media
Sufficient space above the printer for the installation of ventilation if desired
●
Emergency exits – suitably positioned and easily accessible
●
Safety requirements – first aid station, emergency eye wash station
●
Fire extinguishers — a fire extinguisher certified for electrical fires must be in the print production
●
area. Another fire extinguisher must be placed in the substrate storage area.
Lighting — the print production area should be well lit to provide the operator with optimal
●
conditions for checking print production (color, alignment, etc.). If there is insufficient natural
light, the installation of supplementary artificial lighting is recommended.
Do not install the printer where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or a strong light source.
●
Do not install the printer in a dusty environment. Remove any accumulated dust before moving
●
the printer into the area.
CAUTION:All cables connected to the printer should be properly installed according to local
building codes and standards. Tripping over loose wires or cables can cause personal injury or
damage to the equipment.
Temperature and humidity in the print production and storage areas affect the print output results. Not
maintaining the recommended values as shown in the specifications may have an adverse effect on
print quality or damage sensitive electronic devices in the system components.
Very low relative humidity increases the risk of damage to sensitive electronic devices caused by
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Excessive humidity may also cause corrosion problems and moisture
contamination within the equipment.
Floor requirements
When planning the print production area, it is important to ensure that the floor surface is solid,
smooth, level, and free from any holes or indentations. Floor covering material should be durable and
easy to clean.
4Chapter 2 Site planningENWW
Floor load-bearing capabilities in the print production area are an essential consideration. This will
require consulting the structural engineer for the building in which the printer is to be installed. See
the
Specifications on page 12 for the shipping and assembled weights of the printer.
During installation, the printer and media tables will be leveled to ensure accurate media feeding. The
printer and table feet can be adjusted to compensate for a maximum floor slope (elevation change) of
5.6 cm (2.2 in) over the printer width, and 5.1 cm (2.0 in) over the printer depth.

Locate the printer within 1.5 m (5 ft) from the service end, or 3.7 m (12 ft) from the user end, to the
facility power outlet or power drop. The main and auxiliary power cords connect to inlets on the
electronics box at the user end of the printer. An extension cord should not be used with the main
power cable, but may be used with the auxiliary power cord if necessary. A power drop from the
ceiling may be used.
CAUTION:The socket outlet must be installed near the printer and be easily accessible.
Ventilation and fume extraction
The printer ink and printhead flush emit low levels of fumes and odor.
If desired, customers may prepare a solvent-resistant, fire-resistant exhaust fan capable of expelling
1800 CFM of air from the printer to the outside of the building, as well as all necessary duct work prior
to the date of printer installation. The customer should work with a heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning contractor to ensure that the ventilation system works and complies with local building
codes.
Eye wash station
An eye wash station or suitable eye-washing facilities must be provided to be used in the event of
emergency, should chemical splashing occur while system operators are handling inks and printhead
flush. The provision of these facilities will help to reduce the risk of irritation and possible damage to
the eyes and/or skin.
ENWWFacility requirements7
Storage area for materials
You will need an area near the printer to store media and ink, and to finish and package prints for
shipment or distribution. For best results, media and ink should be stored in a temperature- and
humidity-controlled environment similar to the printer’s en viro n men t.
Rigid cut-sheet media should be stored flat and not stored for long periods before use. Any warping of
this media will increase the likelihood of the carriage striking it during printing, or media feed
problems.
Due to the tendency of synthetic rigid media to build up an electrostatic charge, electrostatic
discharge (ESD) abatement measures such as raising the relative humidity in the room or draping
copper grounding tinsel over the stored media may be necessary.
Inks and solvent containers must be properly sealed and stored in the upright position in a flameproof storage cabinet.
WARNING!Do not permit smoking or open flames in the print production or storage areas, and
prominently display the appropriate warning signs.
WARNING!To avoid electrical shocks or burns caused by the use of wrong type of fire
extinguisher, make sure your fire extinguisher ha s be en ap p ro ved fo r use on ele ctrica l fire s.
NOTE:It is recommended that substrate rolls remain in their sealed wrapping material when placed
in storage. It is advisable to move them from the storage area to the print production area at least 24
hours before use, so that they may reach the required moistness and operating temperature.
Computer and networking requirements
The printer receives print jobs from an external RIP. You must have the RIP software, server
hardware, network interface card, and local area network (100Mbit or faster required) available for
installation with the printer. Consult your HP represent ative for a list of supported RIPs. Refer to the
RIP documentation for the system requirements.
The printer and RIP should be connected to the local area network via a switch (preferably 1000MBit
or gigabit) or directly to network wall outlets. Th e cu sto m er is responsible for providing the Ethernet
cabling for these connections. Network cables are not included with the printer.
CallMe@hp
CallMe@hp is a suite of remote support tools that enables communication between customers and
HP. CallMe@hp client software must be installed on a networked computer running Windows XP or
Windows Vista. This computer may be your Onyx RIP or another networked computer, but should be
near the printer. One available USB port is also required to us e th e w eb cam in clud ed with th e
product for use with CallMe@hp.
If you are using the Linux-based Caldera RIP and yo u wi sh t o ta ke adv an ta ge of t he Ca llMe @h p
remote-support features, you will require another networked computer that runs Microsoft Windows
XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 for installation of the CallMe@hp client software.
Receiving logistics
Receiving dock and fork lift required
A fork lift truck with 114 cm (45 in) forks and a 1134 kg (2500 lb) minimum load capacity, and a
receiving dock are required to receive the printe r from the shipper. Receiving the printer at ground
level is not practical. The shipping crate is designed for fork lift handling: it can be pushed or pulled
8Chapter 2 Site planningENWW
from the ends, or lifted from the sides as needed. After unpacking , use the shipping casters to move
the printer, or lift the printer with a fork lift at the marked lift points.
Building interior clearances required
CAUTION:Due to its physical dimensions and weight, the printer cannot be moved through building
areas that cannot accommodate a fork lift, such as stair wa ys or standard passenger elevators, or
through doorways that are narrower than the width of the printer or crate.
An Authorized Service Provider will install the printer. Depending on the space available at your
location, you can either unpack and assemble the printer in your receiving area, then move the printer
on its wheels to your production area, or move the shipping container unopened to your production
area, and unpack and assemble it there. A technical representative will work with you in advance to
plan for receiving, unpacking, and assembling the printer.
The route between the unloading area of the printer and the installation site, including any corridors
and doorways through which the printer must be transported, must be clear when the printer arrives.
When planning this area, take into consideration:
Height and width of entrance to unloading area
●
Width of any ramps between the receiving area and the installation location
●
Height and size of unloading dock
●
Use the following dimensions and weights as you plan to receive and move the printer to its final
location.
