Unpacking the Printer
The printer is secured using packing tape and cushioning materials to protect it against
vibrations and shock during transportation. Use the following procedure to unpack the printer.
Keep the packing materials for future transportation.
Note: If you open the top cover of the printer, you will see a foam block installed over the
maintenance roller. You will remove this block later when using the After Shipping Wizard to
prepare the maintenance roller, install ink cartridges, and install the printhead.
See “Using the
After Shipping Wizard” on page 26.
1 Remove the packing straps from the shipping carton. Cut the tape securing the top of the
carton. Then open the top of the carton.
2 Remove the accessory box and packing materials from the shipping carton.
3 Lift the shipping carton off the printer and shipping pallet.
4 With help from another person, lift the printer off the shipping pallet.
Caution: The printer is heavy and moving it requires two people. One person should lift
the front by the indicated lift point, while the other person should lift the back by the
indicated lift point. Do not lift the printer by the mandrel. Lift the front of the printer by the
recessed handle. Lift the rear of the printer by the flat area of the purple frame above the
mandrel. Keep the printer level while lifting it.
5 Place the printer on a sturdy, flat horizontal surface that can support at least 100 pounds
(45.4 kilograms).
6 Remove all packing tape from the printer exterior. This tape is used to secure the doors and
covers in place.
There is also tape holding the maintenance cartridge in place. Open the main side door and
lower side door to access and remove this tape.
