It was a tense minute or so until we got it in position and I was able to bolt the printer to the stand. After trying a few different ways, she was finally able to lift the printer up and straighten her legs. After I’d set the stand up, I asked my wife to help, and she initially couldn’t lift it.

I gave the delivery men $10 each for their trouble, and figured it was still cheaper than the $100 that the distributor had asked for, but I was still wishing I’d paid the $500 for the full treatment. I was so relieved when we put it down on the floor, but already knew it was going to be difficult to lift it again later with my wife, after I’d put the stand together. We had to turn the printer sideways to get it up the stairs, and only just managed to get it around the corner and through the door into the studio. It was the middle of August, so as we carried the printer, my hands started sweating and the plastic was slipping in my hands.

I asked the guys that delivered the printer to help me carry it up to the third floor, and one of them helped me to do so. My plan was to plead for help if my fears came true, and they’d come true. The printer was laid on a polystyrene frame on top of a huge wooden palette, and some double thickness super strength card board over the top and sides. I wished I’d been able to take a photograph of it, because it really was huge. On the day of the delivery, when I got out to the truck, I was pretty shocked to see the size of the box that the printer was in. I started to get really worried, and called the distributors to see if I could add the setup fees, and they said that if I did, they’d need another two weeks for delivery, so I gave up on that idea.

I had kind of thought that my wife and I could carry it up the stairs, but then I read in the Canon Manual that it requires three people to lift the printer onto the stand. The more I thought about this decision though, the more concerned I became.

With me being pretty technical, I didn’t like the idea of paying someone to install drivers and stuff, so I didn’t take this service, and I wasn’t too impressed with the $100 just to carry it up two flights of stairs, so I refused, and just went with free delivery. They would also take away all of the packaging materials.

They wanted an extra $100 just to bring it up to my third floor studio, or I could pay $500 to bring the printer up to the third floor, unpack it, set it all up on the stand, and then install the drivers to my computer and check connectivity. The company I bought from here in Japan offered free delivery to drop the printer off in my car park. You also need space around the printer for airflow and to operate it. On the stand the dimensions of the printer are 39.1″ high, 46.4″ wide and 34.3″ deep. If you don’t have that, just get the stand. Trying to work with this printer on a table or workbench could be a pain, unless you have something about the same size as the Canon stand, on wheels, and that you can leave the printer on all the time. I’m not sure how it is in other countries, but in Japan, some distributors provide the stand as an option, and some include it, with an increased price of course.
