CAUTION: Do not install a ProJet™ Production Printing System in the same area as equipment with heavy vibration, or
airborne contaminants that may adversely affect the printer's performance.

06.2 Humidity

Humidity should be maintained at less than 50% non-condensing.

06.3 Lighting

The ProJet™ Production Printing System is equipped with its own internal light build chamber, and back lit operating panel control with display.
Normal area lighting is necessary for operation and service of this system. Floresent light is the best lighting for the system.

06.4 Vibration and Shock

The ProJet™ Production Printing System consists of many precision mechanical and sensing systems that are sensitive to vibration during the
build process. To maximize the quality and accuracy of the build, it is required that the unit not be near heavy machinery or any source causing
high vibration or shock (i.e. exterior walls near train tracks or airports).

NOTE: The printer MUST be placed on a vibration free concrete floor. Do not install on any other floor covering such as
vinyl, tile, carpeting, etc.. Doing so WILL affect machine performance.

07.0 Preparation for Shipment Arrival

NOTE: Never unload, unpack, assemble, connect, or install 3D Systems' ProJet™ Production Printing System without the
aid of a qualified 3D Systems Field Service Engineer or an authorized reseller.

The following topics should be arranged PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE SYSTEM, to simplify installation of the ProJet™ Production Printing
System.
Refer to later sections of this guide for details of this procedure.

Make sure the following resources are available ( 

):

____ A forklift or similar, heavy-duty equipment required for unloading the printer crate from the truck to the location where it will be uncrated and
installed.
____ Network connection(s) - 1
____ If ProJet Finisher XL is to be installed, a certified electrician will be need at the site to hard wire the finisher in the facility.
____ Power outlet(s) - a dedicated circuit to power the printer
____ Storage cabinetry for extra printer material containers and other consumables
____ At least one (1), networked graphics workstation or CAD/CAM/CAE terminal meeting the requirements described in 

Client Workstation

Requirements.

08.0 MDM Bottle & Build Platform Installations

CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME THE "UNCRATED" ProJet™ Production Printing System is to be moved a forklift must be used,
ALWAYS contact a 3D Systems' CSE PRIOR TO THE MOVE. Exercise care in moving the machine, physical shock should
be avoided. 3D Systems accepts no responsibility for any damage to the machine, repairs that may result from accidental
damage to the printer.

WARNING: Avoid accidental contact with potentially hazardous voltage, or circumstances that may cause a short or
ground fault.
