• Once the box top is removed, remove the top

vertical foam pieces on the front of the printer.
Tip: Retain the packaging for upgrade or repair.
• Next, open and pull the plastic moisture bag
down around the printer.
• Remove the two remaining cardboard pillars by
sliding them toward you.
• Remove the cardboard box from under the
platform and set it aside for the moment.
• Next, lift the printer out of the plastic and off of
the base of the box. Lift by the white frame only.

platform cable and connector. To do so, turn the
foam 90 degrees, then slide it out.

Ensure the platform cable is firmly connected.
• Remove the cardboard insert under the sides of
the platform by pulling sideways and rotating.
• Finally, retrieve the Wi-Fi antenna and power
cable from the cardboard box and attach them to
