Choose a location for the printer that meets these requirements:
Electrical Requirements
You will need three electrical outlets to plug in the printer,
heater, and take-up roller (do not use a power strip). It is
recommended that the outlets be powered by a dedicated
30-amp circuit. Typical power consumption while printing
is about 680 watts. Make sure your electrical system meets
the requirements shown to the right.
Computer Requirements
Make sure your computers meet these requirements for using the ColorBurst
®
RIP:
We recommend that you use a Cat 6 Ethernet cable and connect the printer through your network, instead of using USB.
Tools and Supplies
You’ll need the following tools and supplies:
•
No. 2 (medium) Phillips screwdriver
Required to assemble the stand.
•
Lifting bars (optional)
Two 5-foot lengths of 1-inch steel pipe (available at hardware stores) will make it easier to lift the printer onto its stand.
Caution:
The printer without its stand weighs 330 lb (150 kg). Six or more people are required to lift and guide it onto the stand.
•
Metric ruler
You’ll need a steel ruler with divisions in millimeters (at least 500 mm long, or one-half meter) to perform the line feed
adjustment. For more information, see Chapter 2 in the
Setup and Use Guide
.
•
Printable media
You’ll need a supply of media to perform certain adjustments. We recommend using adhesive-backed vinyl, available
from companies such as 3M, Avery, or Epson.
You may also need a box cutter to unpack the printer and to cut media, a loupe to read alignment patterns, and a
spectrophotometer to linearize your color output.
