The information on this poster applies to the
following HP products:
• HP Designjet 5XX Series
• Stand and Paper Bin available as accessory.
If you are installing an accessory, such as a
stand, after the main installation has been
completed, use the instructions that came with
the accessory. If you are installing it at the
same time as the main installation, read the
appropriate stages of this Poster.
For accessory cards, see “Understand Printer
Connections” and the documentation that
comes with these accessories.
Read these instructions carefully...
and complete each stage before you start
the next.
What You Will Need to Do the Job
• Because some of the components of the
printer are bulky, you will need 2 or 3
people to lift them. See the descriptions that
follow for details—a symbol like this is
used:
• You are recommended to have a floor area
of approximately 6 square metres for
unpacking and assembling your printer.
• The time required to unpack, assemble and
set up the hardware is about 30 to 90
minutes, depending on the model and
components (e.g. the stand).
The E+/A0+-size printer with stand and paper
bin as standard.
The D/A1-size printer with no stand or paper
bin as standard. If you have ordered a stand
and paper bin and are installing it now, follow
these instructions, as for a E+/A0+-size model.
