Customer-Supplied Support
Apply the following guidelines to mount the printer on a customer-
supplied support.
•
Place the printer on a level surface capable of bearing at least 120 lbs
(55 kg).
•
If possible, secure the printer to the support by installing screws
through the surface and into the four printer feet.
•
Do not mount the printhead higher than 6 ft (1.83 m) above the printer
baseplate (fluid cabinet base).
•
Do not route the umbilical higher than 8 ft (2.44 m) above the printer
baseplate.
•
Do not mount the printhead, or route the umbilical lower than 2 ft (61

•
Do not mount the printhead more than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) above the
substrate (printing surface).

Do not stretch the umbilical. Mount the printer close enough to the
printhead that the umbilical reaches without being visibly strained.
•
Leave at least 3 in (8 cm) of ventilation clearance on both sides and
at the rear of the printer.
Note: The front panel must remain unobstructed to allow access to the ink
compartment.
