9. Place the printer on the base. Primera recommends three people to lift the printer on top of the

base. Two people are required to lift the printer and one person to guide the printer onto the
mounting pegs. Align the pegs on the base with the holes in the bottom of the printer. Use the
locating label to align the right front edge of the printer with indicated mark on the label. The
front edge of the printer will be 63.5 mm (2.5 inches) from the front of the base.

10. Now that the printer is in place, all of the packing tape, clips and shipping protection devices

must be removed. First remove the tape securing the front cover.
