This video shows you how to assemble the HP Latex 300 Printer Series.
Because spare screws are supplied, some screws will remain unused after assembly of your
printer. The space required for assembly is 3m, 10 feet, in front and 1m, 3.3 feet, at
the back. Four people are required to perform certain tasks. The time required for assembly
of the printer is approximately 135 minutes. Depending on your LAN installation, a web
proxy server name and port may be required to complete the installation of this printer.
Contact your IT manager to get connectivity settings.
Remove the packaging Close de box lids and remove the box by lifting
it upwards. Then carefully cut the straps around the boxes. Make sure that the boxes
don't fall. Remove the boxes as shown.
Assemble the stand Open the stand box, and remove the contents.
Then place the cross-brace on the floor with the yellow plastic pieces facing downwards. Remove
the cover from the inside of each leg. Then locate the "L" left and "R" right
marks on the legs and cross-brace. Lower the left leg into place on the cross-brace and
then pull until the pins protrude. Now use four screws on the outside of the leg to attach
it to the cross-brace, make sure that screws are fully tightened. Repeat these steps for
the other leg. Take the foot bar and locate the right side, this is the side with the
extruding tab. Now attach the foot bar to the cross-brace,
first inserting the right, and then the left side. It is important the foot bar remains
in a "U" shape. Next fix the foot bar on the outside with two screws each side.
Take the feet, notice that there is anti-slip material around two of the wheels, do not
remove this material yet. Connect each foot to the stand, inserting
the two pins, and making sure that the holes on the feet are aligned with the ones on the
leg, if not, rotate the foot in the other direction. Fix the feet with four screws on
each side, make sure the screws are fully tightened.
Now roll the stand assembly upright in the direction of the covered wheels. Fix the cross
brace to the left leg with two screws. Then on the left side, put two screws in place,
but do not fully tighten them yet. Next, put the cover in place, placing it first
on the left, and then the right hole. Use four screws to fix the cover into place, but do
not tighten them yet. Now fully tighten all six screws, then repeat for the other leg.
Attach the printer to the stand Remove the two packing pieces.
Note: these two packing pieces will be required later in the process, so do not break or discard
them. Now open all four box flaps. Push the printer
out towards the side where the desiccant bags are. Now rotate the printer on the pallet
90º, remove the end cap pieces and open the plastic bag. Then remove the two desiccant
bags. Attach the stand onto the printer. When attaching,
check the plastic bag isn't between the printer and stand.
Now attach the right side of the stand, the side with a hole, to the printer engine with one
screw. Fully tighten the screw. Next use two screws to attach the left side
of the stand to the printer. Make sure that the screws are fully tightened.
Rotate the printer Place the two packing pieces in front of the
printer, aligned with the end caps. Then carefully roll the printer down onto the packing pieces.
Carefully lift the printer upright. Now remove the two foam end caps, and remove
the plastic covering from the printer. Next remove the anti-slip material from the two
rear wheels.
Unpack more components Remove all the tapes including the two on
the spindle. Next open the window. Now detach the two orange tapes, and pull them from the
carton piece and tape together. There are two carton pieces inside the printer.
Open the maintenance cartridge door and remove the packaging from inside of the printer.
Only for the HP Designjet 360 Printer, remove the tape.
Remove the tapes from the edge holders, close the window.
For the HP Designjet 360 and 330 Printers only, or as an accessory for the 310, assemble
the Loop shaper and tension bar Unpack the take-up reel boxes. Now slot the
two loop shaper arms over the bar. Make sure the left arm, which is the one with the cable,
is attached to the left side of the bar, the one with the green label seen inside the tube,
and that the grounding cable is on the inside. Ensure the two blue handles are in the up
position. Next slot the two square nutted screws into place, and screw in until fully
located. Locate the left pivot block, this is the one
marked with "L", onto the left hand leg and fix with three screws. Insert the loop
shaper into the left hand side pivot block. Now, locate the right pivot block onto the
other side of the loop shaper. Slide the pivot block into the three holes of the leg and
fix with three screws. Now fix the grounding cable to the leg with one screw. Finally slot
the loop shaper bar into place.
HP Designjet 360 and 330 Printers only, or as an accessory for the 310. Assembling the
Take Up Reel Attach the right part of the take-up reel
module, this is the one with the cable, to the right leg with the three longest screws.
Connect the cable to the port at the rear of the printer. Pass the cable through the
hook of the printer. Now, identify the three holes on the inside
left leg and attach the take up reel left hand module into the holes using three long
screws. Next connect the cable from the tension bar right support, to the right part of the
take up reel.
Assemble the Loading Table Support First attach the left loading table support,
marked with an "L", with two screws. Insert the tube into the right support, marked with
an "R". Insert the bar on the left support and attach the right support with two screws
while holding the tube. Now, attach the loading table by inserting
the left side into the left support, and then inserting the right side into the right support.
Take care not to damage the cable on the left. Attach the grounding cable to the metal plate
where the stand attaches to the printer, making sure the cable passes through the inner part.
At the back of the printer, place one bar with the label pointing towards you, putting
one screw in each side. Note: the slot goes in the lowest part.
At the back of the printer, place the second bar with the label pointing towards the other
bar label, putting one screw in each side.
HP Designjet 360 and 330 Printer only, or as an accessory for 310. Assemble the take
up reel spindle Now unlock the hubs by pushing the blue lever
up. If the printer is a 330 or a 310, and 3 inch
core paper is required, place adaptors on the inner part of each hub.
Slide the two hubs onto the spindle placing the black hub near the gear.
Note: for models 310 and 330, only one hub needs to be placed, the other is fixed, and

end of the spindle. Keep the spindle horizontal. Rest the roll of substrate that you want to
load on the loading table. Note: make sure that the roll is placed correctly
as shown above. For the 360 only, the right hub of the spindle
has two positions: 1 for rolls of the printer's maximum width, and another for narrower rolls.
Note: in order to move the hub, squeeze the two blue pieces. A = preferred position when
possible. Fully insert the spindle into the substrate
roll, no gap should exist between the spindle hub and the roll.
Slide the blue hub onto the spindle. Make sure the blue hub is fully inserted into
the roll of substrate, no gap should exist between the hub and the roll. Then lock the
hub. Now with the blue hub on the left, lift the
loading table to ease the spindle into the printer. Next insert the lead-edge of the
substrate into the printer. Then wait until the substrate emerges from the printer.
On the front panel, select the family of the substrate roll you loaded into the printer,
and then press the OK button. The printer automatically performs substrate advance calibration
and printhead alignment. Please do not stop those processes to ensure successful printhead
alignment.
If the network requires a web proxy to access the printer, ensure you have the proxy port
and proxy address information. If you setup a Manual IP Address, make sure
to correctly enter the DNS and Gateway addresses. This information can be retrieved from a computer
on the local network with internet connectivity, and should have been obtained during site
preparation. Please see the Site Preparation Guide for instructions on how to obtain web
proxy configuration information. Now follow connectivity wizard to:
Enable online substrate preset searches: search and install latest presets available in the
web directly from printer's front panel. Keep your printer up to date: automatically
check, download and install new firmware to your printer.
But make sure that the LAN cable is connected. If during the wizard process, you get an error
on proxy test, press details, modify, enable proxy. Use the proxy server and then add the
proxy address and port.
Important: To complete printer installation, access the link and complete the End of Installation
report. A confirmation will be sent to the customer with warranty validation information,
after report is submitted.
