Epson 5000 - Manual (Page 27)

If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:
Use a stand that supports at least 16.0 kg (35.3 lbs).
Never use a stand that tilts the printer at an angle of more
than 15 degrees from horizontal. If you install a cut-sheet
feeder, the stand must keep your printer level.
If you plan to load continuous paper through the bottom of
the printer, choose a stand that provides an unobstructed
paper path.
Position your printer’s power cord and interface cable so
they do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure
the cables to a leg of the printer stand.
Align the paper stack so that the paper feeds straight into
the tractor’s sprocket units.
Assembling the Printer
Removing the protective materials
During shipping, several pieces of packing material protect the
printer. Before you assemble the printer, you must remove
these protective materials as shown in the attached Notice
Sheet.
Note:
Store all protective materials in case you ever need to transport your
printer.
