REMOVING THE PRINTER FROM THE CARTON
Because of its size and weight, the printer is shipped on a pallet. Rather than lifting
the printer out of the carton, you should remove the carton from around the printer
and then simply lift the printer off the pallet.
The printer weighs approximately 154 lb. Do not try to lift it
without assistance.
