Customers should recognize that actual levels in their facilities are dependent on workspace variables they control such as room size, ventilation performance, and duration of equipment use. HP's assessment concluded, based on the available scientific information, that airborne materials are not expected to present a health hazard as long as you provide a minimum of 10 ACH (air changes per hour) of fresh air ventilation and a minimum room volume of 100 m³. These specifications are valid for one HP printer printing a black area-fill print (high ink density) and fast print modes. If there is other equipment in the room or different printing conditions, the ventilation rate should be recalculated accordingly. In addition to the workspace benefit provided by general room ventilation, heavy use of the printer may require localized ventilation in order to provide a more comfortable working environment. See also Local exhaust on page 13. Air conditioning In addition to fresh air ventilation, to avoid health hazards, you should maintain the operating conditions specified in the Environmental specifications on page 12, to avoid operator discomfort and equipment malfunction. Air conditioning in the work area should take into account that the equipment produces heat. Typically, the printer's power dissipation is: 10 kW (34.1 kBTU/h). CAUTION: The air conditioning units should not blow air directly onto the printer. Local exhaust Intensive use of this printer system may necessitate the use of localized ventilation in order to provide a more comfortable working environment. The installation of a localized exhaust system for a printer enables the capture of airborne contaminants and heat near their source of generation, and subsequently removes them efficiently from the building through contained and relatively low-volume air flow. A workspace health and safety professional can provide guidance on the design and use of this auxiliary ventilation equipment. Local exhaust specifications ● Airflow: 325 m³/h ±5% ● Pressure: −30 Pa to −10 Pa These parameters should be measured at the local-exhaust printer connection. HP recommends not using ABS, PC, Steel, or EG Steel materials for the local exhaust installation. PVC, SS, PP, or aluminum are better options. Load bearing The load-bearing characteristics of the floor in the print production area must be sufficient to withstand the weight of your printer. To calculate the load bearing characteristics of the print production floor, you must consult a structural engineer. Printer weight with crate Printer weight without substrate Load on each foot 2000 kg (4409 lb) 1200 kg (2646 lb) 600 kg (1323 lb) Your printer has four wheels used to move the printer and three feet that must be lowered to touch the ground and support the printer. The following diagram shows where the feet and wheels touch the ground, in case you need extra reinforcements. ENWW Room and spacial requirements 13
