Get started
The following topics describe how to assemble your new printer (also described in the Printer assembly document).
Because some of the components of the printer are bulky, you may need up to four people to lift them. You will also need at least 3 × 5 m (10 × 16 ft) of empty floor space, and about four hours.
NOTE If you have bought the HP Designjet 4500 Scanner, you can reduce the overall setup time by assembling the scanner first and then switching it on. The scanner will take one hour to warm up.
Before you start unpacking, consider where you are going to put the assembled printer. You should allow some clear space at the back and at the front of the printer. The recommended clearances are shown in the illustration below.
