System Dimensions and Weights

Dimensions Uncrated Dimensions Crated Weight:

H = 5.3 Feet (1.6M) H = 6.9 Feet (2.1M) Crated: 3644 lbs (1653 Kg)
W = 11.8 Feet (3.6M) W = 13 Feet (3.9M) Uncrated:2165 lbs (980 Kg)
D = 4.8 Feet (1.5 M) D = 7.2 Feet (2.2M)

NOTE:

The Anapurna M4F ships in a single wooden crate with the standard media tables inside. The crate
panels and top cover are secured with 8 mm hex head bolts. Riggers will be required to open the crate
and lift the printer off the pallet to move it to position.

Shipping and Delivery

No Truck Height Loading Dock: Due to the width of the Anapurna M4F crate (13 Feet) it is important
that the freight vehicle delivering the printer have a lift gate. This will allow the forklift to pull the crate
length-wise to the lift gate and together with the forklift supporting one end. The crate can then be safely
lowered to the ground.

With Truck Height Loading Dock: The load dock area must have enough vertical height and space for
the forklift to be able to lift the printer off the pallet.

Forklift Requirements

4409 lbs or 2000 Kg or higher capacity to lift the printer crate.

The forklift blades should be at least 60 inches or 1500 mm in length.

The distance between the fork lift blades should be 41 inches or 1050 mm apart.

Floor Strength and Flatness

The floor must be level with a maximum incline or waviness of +/- 1.3 cm across the footprint.
Do not install on carpet.

Doors and Hallway Access

The customer must provide free access through doors and hallways from the entrance to the Anapurna
location so that the printer can be rolled to its position. It will be the customer’s responsibility to have the
system moved to the location of where the Anapurna will be installed. An AGFA Service representative
will be present to assist with moving the equipment. Once on its wheels the printer can be rolled to
position, make sure to provide ramps as necessary to clear any thresholds.

Minimum Door Way Width: 58 (Inches) or 147.3 (CM) Uncrated **

62 (Inches) or 157.5 (CM) Crated

** Roll to Roll brackets come preinstalled, they can be removed

to reduce the door way width requirement to 43.3 inches or
1100mm.

Minimum Door Way Height: 7.0 (feet) or 213 (CM) Uncrated

7.0 (feet) or 213 (CM) Crated

Compressed Air Supply
Printer Air Connection: An adapter (shown below) is needed to connect the air hose from the air
regulator to the printer. This should be purchased locally.

Printer Air Pressure: 24/7 air regulation is required to avoid ink contamination. A regulator must
be supplied by the customer and located near the printer. The regulator
should be set to 80 PSI.

Compressor: 3 - 5 HP, Min 60 - 80 gallons or better tank. The compressors regulator should be
set between 105 - 110 PSI for trip OFF and to 85 PSI to trip ON.

Printer Air Volume: .28 CFM or 2 gallons/per minute

Compressor Air Quality: Air Filters are required to eliminate moisture (No Water/No Oil)

Customers must provide: Air - Water – Oil filtration and in situations where the compressor is over 100 feet
away from the printer, provide the proper air line diameter to minimize loss.

Sample regulator for 3/8”

The 6 mm tube which is supplied fittings with regulator

RIP Software and PC Platform

Wasatch RIP

The Wasatch SoftRip is provided for raster image processing of images. Install the Wasatch
SoftRIP on a PC, which meets the following platform specifications.

Minimum Recommended System requirements for Anapurna M4F

¾ CPU Type: Core 2 Duo, 3.06 GHz or faster

¾ 4 Gigabytes Ram
¾ Two Physical hard drives, 120 - 160 gigs size, 10K RPMs, one for the OS, one for the Rip
¾ Windows XP, or Server OS, Windows 7, (Vista is not supported)

• 2 NETWORK CARDS, The RIP Computer requires two network cards, one for the
connection between the RIP and the printer. The second network card is needed for the
connection between the customer’s network and the RIP computer. A crossover cable is
supplied with the unit and is used to connect the Anapurna directly to the RIP computer. The
Anapurna cannot be connected directly to the customer’s network and will not be
able to function as a network printer .

• MULTIPLE HARD DRIVES, by purchasing a PC with 2 physical hard-drives this will speed
up the processing of large image files and improve the reliability of the .

• CPU SPEED, The faster the CPU, the faster the software will process your files. Purchase
the fastest available computer you can. More RAM will also help speed up the processing; it
is the speed of the CPU that directly affects how fast SoftRIP runs. If you are processing
large files over 500 MB in size, it is also important to have a minimum of 4 GB of memory.

• WASATCH, Wasatch SoftRIP can process more than one file at a time and takes advantage
of multiple CPUs for this purpose. For every additional processor in your computer, it is
recommended to purchase the maximum amount of RAM for your CPU. It is important to
use multi-gigabyte disk drives on computers that are intended for use in high resolution
printing, especially if you plan to keep the Ripped files available in the Wasatch Print Queue.

Buying a robust PC platform will provide a quick payback

in faster output speeds and greater reliability!

AC Power Requirements

Global Services North America
Wilmington MA 01887

Power Consumption:

Maximum Power: 4 KW
BTUs (Max): 13648.57

Power Requirements for the Anapurna M4F:

The following electrical requirements must be provided to your electrician.

• Single phase, 208 Volts

• 40 Amp, 60Hz, dedicated circuit with ground, no neutral

• The electrician must provide the proper power cord. (See Note 3)

• The printer should have a twist lock plug/receptacle (L6-30 R/P). So that Agfa service can
disconnect power when needed.

• Buck boost transformer wiring diagram is on page 10

Important

1. The printer operating voltage range is: 230 – 240 VAC, we need to increase the 208
Voltage to this range for the UV lamps to properly cure the ink. A Buck/Boost
transformer will be required to increase the 208 volts to this range. See pages 9,
10, and 11 for transformer data, configuration, and a sample transformer.

2. To minimize voltage loss the buck boost transformers should always be located
near the .

3. The length of the power cord should be 9 Feet plus the distance to the outlet or
power drop. The plug/receptacle should be a twist lock (Ex: Hubbell L6-30 P/R)
design in accordance with local electrical codes. Agfa Service will need to be able
to disconnect power when required.

If your electrician has any questions please contact AGFA at 1 800 879 2432

AC Power Requirements

The Buck/Boost Transformer

The Anapurna M4F printer requires power in the 230 – 240 VAC range for the UV lamps to
properly cure the ink. At 208 Volts the customer will have curing problems and the lamps will fail
prematurely.

Buck/Boost Transformer and Specifications:

• KVA Rating: 1.5

• Primary Volts: 120/240
• Secondary Volts: 16/32
• Sola Hevi Duty Catalog #: HS20F1.5A
• Sola Hevi Duty Website is: www.solaheviduty.com

Another source for the 1.5 KVA Buck/Boost transformers is Grainger.com, search for Item #
“2CL93”.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

ELECTRICIANS IN CANADA MAY REFER TO A “BUCK BOOST” TRANSFORMER AS AN “AUTO

TRANSFORMER”.

INSTEAD THE TERM “ISOLATION TRANSFORMER WITH STEP UP” SHOULD BE USED SO THAT
THE ELECTRICIAN WILL ORDER THE CORRECT TRANSFORMER FOR THE PRINTER.
