Customer-Supplied Support
Apply the following guidelines to mount the printer on a customer-
supplied support.
•
Place the printer on a level surface capable of bearing at least 120 lbs
(55 kg).
•
If possible, secure the printer to the support by installing screws
through the surface and into the four printer feet.
•
Do not mount the printhead higher than 6 ft (1.83 m) above the printer
baseplate (fluid cabinet base).
•
Do not route the umbilical higher than 8 ft (2.44 m) above the printer
baseplate.
•
Do not mount the printhead, or route the umbilical lower than 2 ft (61
cm) below the printer baseplate,
•
Do not mount the printhead more than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) above the
substrate (printing surface).
•
Figure 3.3 diagrams all positioning specifications.
•
Do not stretch the umbilical. Mount the printer close enough to the
printhead that the umbilical reaches without being visibly strained.
•
Leave at least 3 in (8 cm) of ventilation clearance on both sides and
at the rear of the printer.
Note: The front panel must remain unobstructed to allow access to the ink
compartment.
