WARNING
1. Checks before Installation
Introduction 3

Deciding On an Installation Site
Install the machine in a quiet, stable location offering good operating conditions. An unsuitable location
can cause accidents, fire, faulty operation, or breakdown.
Install the machine in a location that is level, stable, and able to bear the weight of the machine.
The total weight of the machine may reach 207 kg (457 lb.) (30-inch model: 154 kg [340 lb.]) or more. Installation in an
unsuitable location may cause a major accident, including tip over, fall, or collapse.
WARNING
Never install this machine outside or in any location where exposure to water or high humidity
may occur.
Current leakage may cause electrical shock or fire.
WARNING
Never install the machine close to any flammable object or in a gas-filled location.
Combustion or explosion could occur.
WARNING
Position the machine so that the power plug is within immediate reach at all times.
This is to enable quick disconnection of the power plug in the event of an emergency. Install the machine next to an
electrical outlet. Also, provide enough empty space to allow immediate access to the electrical outlet.
WARNING
Install the machine in a clean, brightly lit location.
Working in a location that is dark or cluttered may lead to an accident, such as becoming caught in the machine as the
result of an inadvertent stumble.
WARNING
Ensure adequate ventilation for the work area.
Failing to perform ventilation may result in a health hazard or danger of combustion due to ink fumes.
CAUTION
Unsuitable installation sites
• Locations subject to large fluctuations in temperature or humidity
• Locations subject to shaking or vibration
• Locations where the floor is tilted, not level, or unstable
• Dusty locations
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight
• Locations near air-conditioning or heating equipment
• Locations exposed to water or moving air
• Locations exposed to considerable electrical or magnetic noise or other forms of electromagnetic en-
ergy

Procedure
1. Attach the stand stay to the stand legs.
Position the stand legs so that their brackets (A) face the inside, and then tighten the eight bolts in
the order shown below.
(1) Temporarily tighten the four bolts in the two upper locations.
(2) After setting washers on the bolts, temporarily tighten the four bolts in the two locations on the
sides.
(3) Fully tighten the four bolts in the two upper locations.
(4) Fully tighten the four bolts in the two locations on the sides.
Side Top
Make the gap uniform. Align these parts so they are parallel.
MEMO
2. Attach the casters onto the stand leg.
(1) Stand up the stand legs so that the longer parts from the stand stay (A) are on top.

3. Attach the arms to the stand.
(1) Set the stand upright.
Be sure to perform this operation with two workers, each one holding one stand leg. If only one worker
performs this operation, the stand stay may bend.
IMPORTANT
(2) Temporarily tighten the bolts in the eight upper locations.
(3) Temporarily tighten the bolts in the four locations on the sides.
(4) Fully tighten all the bolts in the upper locations followed by the bolts in the locations on the sides
to completely fix the arms in place on the stand.
