SECTION 2
INSTALLING THE PRINTER

Choosing the Location

The Digital Color Printer should be placed on a sturdy, level, worktable or cabinet; at least 9 inches
from any walls. Protect the Digital Color Printer from excessive heat, dust, and moisture – avoid
placing it in direct sunlight.
Work-Table Surface Must be Level
IMPORTANT! Level the Table, NOT the Printer!
The surface that the printer is placed upon must be level, front to back and side to side. Use a
carpenter's level (bubble level) to verify that the surface is level. If the surface is not level the printer
will not perform properly; which can lead to damage.
Why is this Important?
The printer's ink delivery systems, and waste ink drainage system, depend on the table surface being
level to perform properly. If this rule is not followed you will experience print quality issues and ink
waste draining issues that could cause damage to the printer.
-
Level the Table surface, NOT the Printer.
-
Do NOT use the Toolbox utilities "Tilt" readings to level the printer or table.
-
Use an accurate level (i.e. bubble level that is at least 18" long), to check that the table surface is
level (front to back and left to right). It is not acceptable to use your "cell phone app" to check
level.
-
Do NOT shim, raise or otherwise modify the printer, or feet of the printer, in any way.
-
If the table surface cannot be leveled then the printer should not be placed on it.
-
If the table is not sturdy then the printer should not be placed on it.
-
Do NOT move the printer while the power is on.

Operating Conditions

Operation should take place under the following conditions:
- At temperatures between +15°C and +35°C (59 °F to 95 °F).
- At a relative air humidity between 20% and 80%, non-condensing.
- At an atmospheric pressure between 70 kPa and 105 kPa.
- Printer and Print Engine should be protected from excessive environmental debris/dust.
- Printer must be placed on a "Sturdy/Level" surface.
Exposure to conditions that are not permissible may lead to damage which is not externally visible.
Allow the printer, printhead and ink tanks to acclimate to ambient temperature before using the printer.
