Moving the printer
To lift the printer, face the front and back
of the printer and grip the recessed areas
at the bottom left and right with both
hands, as shown.
Do not try to lift the printer by gripping
any other areas. Doing so can cause the
printer to fall and could result in injury.
The printer weighs 76 lb (34.5 kg) with the tray and consumables installed, therefore
at least two people should carry it. Lift the printer as shown in the figure below.
Bend knees when lifting to avoid back injury. Keep the printer level when moving to
prevent trays and consumables from falling out.
Note: When unpacking the printer, retain the box and all packing materials, including the
wooden pallet that the printer ships with. You will require these materials if transporting
or shipping the printer in the future.
