Preparing for Your New Printer The printer feet, cabinet casters, and table casters can be adjusted to compensate for a maximum floor slope (elevation change) of 2.2 inches (5.6 cm) over the printer width of 180 inches (457 cm), and 2.0 inches (5.1 cm) over the printer depth of 118 inches (300 cm). Space Requirements Allow enough space around all sides of the printer to load and unload ink and media, and operate the control panel. The rigid cut-sheet workflow requires some space planning for operator movement between the blank media stock (pallets or tables), the printer when loading media, operating the printer, and unloading media. Cut sheets are loaded from the Input Side of the printer. The compressed air connection is on the Service End of the printer. The power cord (length 19.7 feet/6 meters) is also located at the Service End of the printer. For further details, see the diagrams below and the dimensions shown in Table 2, "Specifications," on page 6. Fig. 3.

For best results, media and ink should be stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment similar to the printer's environment. Rigid cut-sheet media should be stored flat and not stored for long periods before use. Any warping of this media will increase the likelihood of the carriage striking it during printing, or media feed problems. Due to the tendency of synthetic rigid media to build up an electrostatic charge, electrostatic discharge (ESD) abatement measures such as raising the relative humidity in the room or draping copper grounding tinsel over the stored media may be necessary. UV Cure Ink is Perishable Unlike other inks used in wide format printing, UV cure ink has a limited shelf life. Plan to rotate your ink stock and use it promptly by the date printed on the ink box. 0706473 Revision B 4
