Shipping and Delivery
No Truck Height Loading Dock: Due to the width of the Anapurna M4F (153 inches) it is important that
the freight vehicle delivering the crated engine have a lift gate. This will allow the forklift to pull the crate
length-wise to the lift gate and together with the forklift supporting one end, the crate can be lowered to
the ground.
With Truck Height Loading Dock: The load dock area must have enough vertical height and space for
the forklift to be able to lift the printer off the pallet.
Forklift Requirements
4409 lbs or 2000 Kg or higher capacity to lift the printer crate.
The forklift blades should be at least 60 inches or 1500 mm in length.
The distance between the fork lift blades should be 41 inches or 1050 mm apart.
Floor Strength and Flatness
The floor must be level with a maximum incline or waviness of +/- 1.3 cm across the footprint. Never
install the printer on carpet.
Doors and Hallway Access
The customer must provide free access through doors and hallways from the entrance to the Anapurna
location so that the printer can be rolled to its position. It will be the customer’s responsibility to have the
system moved to the location of where the Anapurna will be installed. An AGFA Service representative
will be present to assist with moving the equipment. Once on its wheels the printer can be rolled to
position, make sure to provide ramps as necessary to clear any thresholds.
Minimum Door Way Width: 58 (Inches) or 147.3 (CM) Uncrated **
62 (Inches) or 157.5 (CM) Crated
** Roll to Roll brackets come preinstalled, they can be removed
to reduce the door way width requirement to 43.3 inches or

Compressed Air Supply
Wilmington MA 01887
Engine Air Connection: An adapter (shown below) is needed to connect the air hose from the air
regulator to the printer. This should be purchased locally.
Compressor: 3 - 5 HP, min 60 - 80 gallons or better tank. The compressor
regulator should be set between 105 - 110 PSI for trip OFF and
to 85 PSI to trip ON.
Engine Air Pressure: Air from the compressor, going to the Anapurna must be
regulated to 80 PSI. The Air regulator must be supplied by
the customer and located near the engine.
Engine Air Volume: .28 CFM (2 gallons/per minute usage rate)
Compressor Air Quality: Air Filters are required to eliminate moisture (No Water/No Oil)
Air - Water – Oil filtration must be purchased seperately
Sample Adapter for the 6 mm air line to the printer. The 6 mm air line
comes with the printer, approximate length is 1 meter.

Wilmington MA 01887
Wasatch RIP
The Wasatch SoftRip is provided for raster image processing of images. Install the Wasatch
SoftRIP on a PC, which meets the following platform specifications.
Minimum Recommended System requirements for Anapurna M4F
¾CPU Type: Core 2 Duo, 3.06 GHz or faster
¾4 Gigabytes Ram
¾Two Physical hard drives, 120 - 160 gigs size, 10K RPMs, one for the OS, one for the Rip
¾Windows XP, or Server OS, Windows 7, (Vista is not supported)
•2 NETWORK CARDS, The RIP Computer requires two network cards, one for the
connection between the RIP and the printer. The second network card is needed for the
connection between the customer’s network and the RIP computer. A crossover cable is
supplied with the unit and is used to connect the Anapurna directly to the RIP computer. The
Anapurna cannot be connected directly to the customer’s network and will not
function as a network printer.
•MULTIPLE HARD DRIVES, by purchasing a PC with 2 physical hard-drives this will speed
up the processing of large image files and improve the reliability of the printer.
•CPU SPEED, The faster the CPU, the faster the software will process your files. Purchase
the fastest available computer you can. More RAM will also help speed up the processing; it
is the speed of the CPU that directly affects how fast SoftRIP runs. If you are processing
large files over 500 MB in size, it is also important to have a minimum of 4 GB of memory.
•WASATCH, Wasatch SoftRIP can process more than one file at a time and takes
advantage of multiple CPUs for this purpose. For every additional processor in your
computer, it is recommended to purchase the maximum amount of RAM for your CPU. It is
important to use multi-gigabyte disk drives on computers that are intended for use in high
resolution printing, especially if you plan to keep the Ripped files available in the Wasatch
Print Queue.
Buying a robust PC platform will provide a quick payback
in faster output speeds and greater reliability!

AC Power Requirements
Wilmington MA 01887
Power Requirements for the Anapurna M4F:
The following electrical requirements must be provided to your electrician.
•Single phase, 208 Y (Wye) power
•40 Amp, 60Hz, dedicated circuit with ground, no neutral
•The electrician must provide the proper power cord and plug/receptacles (See Note 3)
•Buck boost transformer wiring diagram is on page 10
Important
1. The printer operating voltage range is: 230 – 240 VAC, we need to increase the 208
Voltage to this range for the UV lamps to properly cure the ink. A Buck/Boost
transformer will be required to increase the 208 volts to this range. See pages 9,
10, and 11 for transformer data, configuration, and a sample transformer.
2. To minimize voltage loss the buck boost transformers should always be located
near the printer.
3. The length of the power cord should be 9 Feet plus the distance to the outlet or
power drop. The plug/receptacle should be a twist lock design in accordance with
local electrical codes. Agfa Service will need to be able to disconnect power when
required.
If your electrician has any questions please contact AGFA at 1 800 879 2432

Wilmington MA 01887
The Buck/Boost Transformer
The Anapurna M4F UV Printers requires power in the 230 – 240 VAC range for the UV lamps to
properly cure the ink. At 208 Volts the customer will have curing problems and the lamps will fail
prematurely.
Buck/Boost Transformer and Specifications:
•KVA Rating: 1.5
•Primary Volts: 120/240
•Secondary Volts: 16/32
•Sola Hevi Duty Catalog #: HS20F1.5A
•Sola Hevi Duty Website is: www.solaheviduty.com
Another source for the 1.5 KVA Buck/Boost transformers is Grainger.com, search for Item #
“2CL93”.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
ELECTRICIANS IN CANADA MAY REFER TO A “BUCK BOOST” TRANSFORMER AS AN “AUTO
TRANSFORMER”.
INSTEAD THE TERM “ISOLATION TRANSFORMER WITH STEP UP” SHOULD BE USED SO THAT
THE ELECTRICIAN WILL ORDER THE CORRECT TRANSFORMER FOR THE PRINTER.
