2Setting up the 2600 Series Mini Press
2.1 Moving and physical setup
The press is equipped with four (4) wheels for light movement. Do not attempt to push the press over
doorsteps or other obstacles regardless of size. Due to the very low clearance, please take care if there are
even small height variations of the surface.
Place the press on a stable level surface and secured by lowering the built-in the stands, using the red tooth-
wheel, until the wheels move freely without touching the ground.
Confirm the press is level, using a spirit leveler.

The press has two cable inlets.
1. Power Supply
2. Ethernet
Only the power cable is necessary for powering up the press. The network cable is necessary for sending new
print jobs to the 2600 Series Mini Press and remote support/software updates.
