Handling Cautions
Moving the Printer Standing Up the Printer Other
● Firmly grasp the carrying handles on each side
in the base (the area shown shaded in the
diagram). Holding the printer at other positions
is dangerous and may cause injury and damage
if the printer is dropped.
● When standing up the printer, hold the metal
parts of the printer. If you hold a plastic part, the
printer may become damaged.
● Do not put the printer down or carry the printer
with only the center of the printer supported.
This may cause damage to the printer.
● Have the following number of people grasp the
carrying handles on each side in the base of the
printer. The weight may cause pain such as back
pain.
• PRO-6100 Approx. 273 lb (124 kg)
6 people or more
• PRO-6100S Approx. 268 lb (122 kg)
6 people or more
• PRO-4100 Approx. 233 lb (106 kg)
6 people or more
• PRO-4100S Approx. 229 lb (104 kg)
6 people or more
• PRO-2100 Approx. 187 lb (85 kg)
6 people or more
For the PRO-6100
● When standing the printer up, place cardboard
or other material underneath to prevent
damage and scratching, and make sure the side
with the operation panel is up. Furthermore,
make sure that the weight of the printer is taken
by the corner of the printer. If the weight is
taken by any other part of the printer, the printer
may become damaged.
● When setting the printer down temporarily,
make sure to put the printer on a flat, stable
surface.
