3Align the screws on the knobs with the holes in the brackets, and then
tighten each knob (one on each side).
+While tightening each knob, it may be necessary to lift up the lower leg
slightly so that the screw on the knob correctly enters the hole in the
bracket.
4Carefully lift up the copyboard to set it
up on its stand, and then spread the
legs completely.
aTo reduce the risk of the copyboard
falling down and causing injuries, do
not loosen the knobs on the stand
when the stand is in use.

2. Setup
After folding up the stand, the CP2000 can be carried using the handle on the back.
aBe sure to use the handle to transport the
copyboard. Do not transport the unit by
carrying it by its stand, otherwise the stand
may open up and the copyboard may fall
down.
bcWhile transporting the copyboard, be careful
not to drop it, scratch it, or hit it against
anything.
Wall mounting
With the enclosed wall-mounting bar and brackets, the copyboard can easily be mounted
on a wall. In addition, by installing the printer on either a short or long edge of the
copyboard, the unit can be positioned either vertically or horizontally.
Attaching the wall-mounting bar
Follow the precautions below to mount the copyboard correctly on the wall
and reduce the risk of it falling down.
aUse the enclosed anchors to attach the wall-mounting bar to plasterboard that is
at least 0.5 in. to 0.63 in. (12.7 mm to 15.9 mm) thick. When mounting the
copyboard on other types of walls, consult with a contractor first and be sure to
use the appropriate types of screws.
Make sure that there is no metal, wood, or wires behind the wall at the points
where the anchors will be installed.
+Before mounting the copyboard on the wall, set it up on its stand and check that
it is operating correctly.
During installation, keep in mind that an anchor is difficult to remove once it has
been installed in the wall.
1Hold the wall-mounting bar against the wall at the position where it
will be attached, making sure that it is level, and then mark the wall at
the four points where the anchors will be installed.
+Be sure to attach the bar using either pair of holes A or B together with
either pair of holes C or D.
It is recommended that holes A and D be used. However, holes B and C
can be used if necessary.

3 on each bracket that attaches the stand to the back of the copyboard.
+To prevent the screws from being
lost, screw them back into the holes
on the back of the copyboard.
4When mounting the copyboard vertically: Remove plates A, and then
use the same screws and holes to attach the enclosed wall-mounting
brackets.
When mounting the copyboard horizontally: Remove plates B, and
then use the same screws and hole to attach the enclosed wall-mount-
ing brackets.

install the printer, and then affix the removed seals to cover unused
mounting holes. Additional seals are enclosed if the original seals
become lost or damaged.
d. Reconnect the printer cable plug and tighten its screws.
6While holding both sides of the copyboard, hook the brackets at the
back of the copyboard onto the wall-mounting bar pegs.
aDo not release the copyboard until you are sure that it is securely mounted
on the wall-mounting bar, otherwise the copyboard may fall down.

7With the copyboard mounted on the wall, remove the two knobs on
the bottom of the unit, and then attach the long ends of the two
enclosed L-shaped brackets to the bottom of the unit with the two
knobs.
8With the short ends of the L-shaped brackets against the wall, mark the
wall at the two points where the anchors will be installed, and then
remove the copyboard from the wall-mounting bar.
9Install the two anchors as described in steps 2through 4of Attach-
ing the wall-mounting bar on page 9.
0Remove the screws from the anchors, hang the copyboard back onto the
wall-mounting bar, and then attach the L-shaped brackets to the wall by
re-installing the screws, while making sure to use the enclosed washers.
aRegularly check that the copyboard is securely mounted to the wall in
order to reduce the risk of the copyboard falling down.
bcWhen removing the copyboard from the wall, also remove the L-shaped
brackets.
-Attach the tray by sliding its slots on each sides of back of the tray over
the two brackets on the front of the copyboard above the printer.
bcIf the copyboard is mounted horizontally, the ends of the tray can be
pulled out to extend it.
Do not subject the tray to strong impacts or use it in any way other than
for holding markers and erasers.

Partition mounting
Follow the precautions below to mount the copyboard correctly on the partition
and reduce the risk of it falling down.
aBefore attempting to hang your copyboard on a cubicle wall, partition, or the like
(“partition”), consult the manufacturer of the partition to verify that the partition
is capable of supporting the copyboard without adverse consequences.
The enclosed partition-mounting brackets allow you to hang the copyboard on a
standing partition 1.5 in. to 4 in. (38 mm to 102 mm) thick and sturdy enough to
withstand a weight of at least 77.3 lbs. (35 kg).
Do not install, adjust, or remove the partition-mounting brackets with the copyboard
hanging from the wall-mounting bar. Always remove the copyboard beforehand.
1Attach the two fixed parts of the partition-mounting brackets to the wall-
mounting bar with the four enclosed screws.
2Insert the ends of the movable parts of the
partition-mounting brackets into the fixed parts.
+Either end of the movable part of the bracket
can be used depending on the width of the
partition. Insert the end stamped A if the
partition is 1.5 in. to 2.8 in. (38 mm to 71 mm).
Insert the end stamped B if the partition is 2.7
in. to 4 in. (69 mm to 102 mm).
3While holding the partition-mounting brackets
clamped around the top of the partition, tighten
the knobs.
4Attach the two wall-mounting brackets to the back of the copyboard as
described in step 4of Mounting the copyboard on page 11.

15
5While holding both sides of the copyboard, hook the brackets at the back
of the copyboard onto the wall-mounting bar pegs.
aDo not release the copyboard
until you are sure that it is
securely mounted on the wall-
mounting bar.
Do not push the unit upward
or to either side, otherwise it
may fall down.
6Attach the tray by sliding its slots over the two brackets on the front of the
copyboard above the printer.
bcDo not subject the tray to strong impacts or use it in any way other than for
holding markers and erasers.
Re-attaching the stand
1Lay the copyboard on the floor facing downward with the printer
control panel and writing surface positioned over a piece of cloth or
other protective sheet to prevent them from being damaged.
2Use the six screws (three on each side) to attach the stand to the back
of the copyboard by tightening the screws in order according to the
numbering on each bracket of the stand (1, 2, then 3).
+While the stand is being used, it is recommended that the wall-mounting
brackets be removed in order to avoid that they be pulled on with excessive
force. After removing the wall-mounting brackets, re-attach the plates. Refer
to step 4of Mounting the copyboard on page 11.

Power supply
Follow the precautions below to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
aIf the unit will not be used for a long period of time, disconnect the AC adaptor
from the wall outlet.
Do not use the AC adaptor outdoors. It can only be used indoors.
Do not allow any objects to come into contact with the AC adaptor or its cords.
The AC adaptor must not be serviced by the user. If repairs are required, contact
the nearest authorized Brother Service Center or the Brother Service Center
indicated in the warranty documentation.
If the AC adaptor requires cleaning, use only a dry cloth. Never use water or
cleaning fluids, since this is extremely dangerous.
Be careful not to pinch or damage either adaptor cable when folding up the stand
or moving the copyboard.
Use only enclosed AC adaptor. Use of other AC adaptor will void the warranty.
1Connect the AC cord to the AC adaptor.
2Connect the AC adaptor cord to the DC jack on the left side of the printer
3Connect the AC cord to an electrical wall outlet.
