Pneumatic connector
The printer comes with an air gun that you must attach to your air supply. In order to connect your air supply to
the air gun, you must meet the following requirements:
6.35 mm (0.25 in) female connector, BSP or NPT thread
PTFE tape to secure the connection and prevent air leaks
WARNING!
Take care when using the air gun. When used for cleaning purposes, make sure to use it according to
the local regulations since additional safety provisions may apply
Room and spacial requirements
Environmental specifications
The temperature, humidity, and temperature gradient during operation and during storage must be kept within
the standard ranges to ensure the correct operation of the printer. Failure to keep these environmental
conditions within the standard ranges may cause image quality problems or damage sensitive electronic
components.

In addition to controlling the temperature, humidity, and temperature gradient, there are other environmental
conditions that must be met during site preparation:
Do not install the printer where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or a strong light source.
Do not install the printer in a dusty environment. Remove any accumulated dust before moving the printer
into the area.
Ventilation
Ensure that the room in which the system is installed meets local environmental, health, and safety (EHS)
guidelines and regulations.
Adequate ventilation needs to be provided to ensure that potential airborne exposure is adequately controlled,
according to Safety Data Sheets. Consult the Safety Data Sheets available at
go/msds/
to
identify the chemical ingredients of your ink consumables. Airborne materials can be identified and quantified by
using established indoor air-quality testing protocols.
HP performs these assessments during the development phase for all products. HP testing shows that, during
printer operation, the concentrations of airborne contaminants measured in the workspace are consistently well
