Environmental Condition Requirements
Environment for: RequiredTemperature RequiredHumidity
Keeping yourprinter 0°C (32°F) to 40°C(104°F) 20% to85%
(nocondensation)
Operating yourprinter 10°C (50°F) to 35°C(95°F)
Achieving
optimal printing
conditions
18°C (64.4°F) to 30°C(86°F) 35% to85%
(nocondensation)
•The following environmental requirements should bemet:
•If these temperature conditions can not be met, air conditioning or heating will be needed.
•GTX600 has a built-in humidifier to help control ambient environment. If a water source can not be provided you may need an evaporative
humidifier for the room size.Do not use a humidifierthat createsmist as it can damage the electrical componentsof the printer.
•If conditions onsite are to ever exceed or drop below “optimal printingconditions” then it must be understoodthat the printermay have
issues with operation.
•When the temperatureis below the “optimal” range, the printerwill take longer toprint.
•When above the “optimal” range it can startto causeissueswith printqualityin the form of banding,or missingnozzleswhen printing.
•If excessively high, it may causethe ink supply partsto becomedamagedas a resultof ink drying inside ofthem.
•Even if the printeris to be stored,the conditions for“Keeping your printer” must still bemet. Contact Brother support prior storing machine by
creating a ticket at https://productiondtg.com/support.
I understand that the printer will need to be placed in an area that can meet the environmental
conditions mentioned above and that if not operated inside of the specified conditions this may cause
issues with printing, or the printer.

Electrical Requirements
•Ensurethat the properelectricalcapacityis present and available for use.
•Ensure that the heat press is going to be put on its own dedicated circuits
that meet the power requirements as listed by the OEM. For example, there
are a few commonitems listedto the right.
•The heat press needs to be kept on its own dedicated breaker/circuit. If an
Air Fusion is purchased a compressor will also be needed and on dedicated
line.
•APretreatment machine can share an outlet as long as it has a low amperage
consumptionsuchas a Schulze product.
•The GTX600 can not be hardwired and must require a plug. Plug is not
provided and must be available for installation tech.
• Brother provides a 6’ cord in the Starter Kit
•24/7 power supply will be required

Connecting to a Water Source
I understandthat a water source will needto be available prior to installation. If using a water supply line, the
water source must be free of minerals and contaminants.
GTX600 features an internal humidifier that is designed to maintain an optimal printing environment. As such, water for
the humidifier is supplied via a Water Supply Tube.
The source of water is dependent on the needs of your facility.
Water can be supplied via:
1. A direct line from pure water, such as a tank of distilled water.
2. Via a water pipe, with a regulator and ion filter to ensure clean water.
IMPORTANT
•Water tube dimensions are OD6 mm 1/4inch
•Do not use the optional humidifier water supply tube to connect to tap water piping.
•If non-pure water, such as tap water,
is used, white powdery impurities will adhere to
the inside of the unit, causing damage to the printer and heads.
•If using a regulator in the water line setup, ensure that the pressure supplied is
.2PMa or less to the printer.

Items not Provided withPurchase
Ensure the proper supplies are present suchas:
•Lift table for lifting the 18Link tank in machine ink tanks. Example: Hydraulic Table Cart
•An Agitation Device; such as Santint G48, for high ink usage; or a Fitness machine for low to intermediate ink usage. It is best to pick the agitation device based
on how often you will use an 18Ltank of white ink. You must have a device available to use even if neither of these examples are purchased.
•5 gallonsof distilled water.
•A32 oz. or 1 liter plasticmixing container withaspout.
•Siliconcoated parchment paper which comesin 16”X24” sheets.
•Agram scale for pretreatmentcalibrationwith the abilityto read in 1 gramincrements
•An Evaporative Humidifierif the room the printer is goingto be locatedin does not meet environmental conditions. Example of suggested humidifier;
VornandoEvaporative Humidifier.
•TestGarmentsor productthat will be printedon by you or your groupwhen you start production.
•1 ream of white paper(8.5”X11”)
•You will be supplied with someBlack paper for calibrationsandnozzlechecks with white ink. If additionalareneededyou willneedto orderPart number

-IfAir fusion purchased, a compressoror airline capable of supplying sustained 80 psi pressure will be needed.
I understandthat the suppliesneeded to properly have the purchased equipmentinstalledneedto be
available at the time ofinstallation.

Please specify the operating system that will be used to create and send files to the printer.All platforms need to be 2Ghz CPU, 8GB
RAM and 64-bit.

Computer Specifications
PC or Mac Specification
The installingtechnicianmust have access to a computer with administrator rights during the installationin order to install the print driver properly.
Software Options a technician can assist to printfrom:

Adobe ®Photoshop CC
Adobe ®Illustrator CC
CorelDRAW ®2020/2021 (Windows)

Printer Connection Type
•If the printer is to be placed on a network, a LAN cable will need to be provided.
•The Brother certified technician installing is not certified to, and can not work with the ISP to acquire information
about your connection type in the case a LAN connection is requested. Brother cannot perform this function as we
are not the account holder for the internet service beingprovided.
•Otherwise, Brother will setup the device on a USB 2.0 connection and also teach how to load items onto a USB thumb
drive forprinting.
Please specify the primary method you will be using to send files to theprinter.

System Integrations
Custom Software/API Integrations
Whereas Brother can help get drivers installed on localized PC’s or over a LAN connection; we cannot provide assistance with software
integrations that are freestanding products. These include items such as: Pulse, Linx, CADlink software.
When it is related to interfacing with your internal order processes or where you may be utilizing an API it is best to contact the
company/ person that sold or developed the software for support.
During the install it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure any connection or utilization of these systems will be able to be actively
utilized while the tech is still onsite.
The technician can perform test prints or sampling on the machine during the install process.
I understandthat the technician will only perform test prints and install the drivers via LAN or USB connection

Delivery Type
Standard Delivery: Dock Door
Dock to Dock Delivery is a standarddelivery option for a location that has a high dock door and no need for a lift gate. For this regular option this
would mean the printer will never have to pass through a doorway that is less than 45” inches wide.
Standard Delivery: Lift Gate
This delivery option is where no high dock door is present,and a lift gate is needed. Select this option only if the printer is not going to passthrough
a standardsizeddoor and thereis adouble doorwayavailable.
Special Handling White GloveService
This option for an additional fee would mean Brother will arrange a special moving service to handle the printer being brought into the facility.This
option is best suited for situations where people will not be available to assist with putting the printer on a stand, going up a flight of steps, and any
otherextenuatingcircumstancesrequiringextensive movement of the printerat the installationsite.
