Installing the Printer on the Stand
1. Have six people lift the printer onto the stand. If you like, you can lift 
the printer using two 1-inch × 84-inch steel pipes (available at hardware 
stores). Insert the pipes into the guides beneath the printer.
WARNING: Six or more 
people are required to lift 
the printer.  Caution: Do not remove 
the packing tape from the 
printer at this point. The 
tape holds the printer 
parts in place as you 
complete installation.
Do not lift the printer 
from beneath the black 
plastic areas in back; lift it 
from the metal area in the 
middle.
