1–12 Operator Manual

DO NOT power up your printer before removing the shipping

hardware.

CAREFUL!

Unpacking your printer

Instructions for unpacking your printer are located on the outside of the

shipping container. After you have removed your printer from its container,

store the shipping materials for possible later use.

Repacking

Repacking your printer for storage or shipping is the reverse order of

unpacking. If shipping materials are needed, you can reorder them from your

dealer.

Removing the Shipping Hardware

The Shipping Hardware consists of 4 screws, identified by red tags, that secure

the printer base to the inside mechanism, and tie restraints that secure the

Paper Stacking Chains. The shipping screws fasten from underneath, 2 near the

front of the print cabinet and 2 near the rear of the cabinet.
