Install Checklist
An install checklist for Epson print hardware, including floor space, access, power and workflow points to confirm before delivery.
Pre-delivery checks for Epson installs
Use the Install Checklist to confirm floor space, delivery access, power and workflow requirements before an Epson unit arrives on site. It helps the print team, facilities staff and installer check the same practical points in advance.
Work through it before booking delivery of an Epson graphic-arts unit. It covers doorway widths, turning space, power supply, network points and where media will be loaded, so the installer and production team are checking the same details. Gauteng workshops and Cape Town studios often differ in access, dust levels and electrical layout, which is why these checks are done on site rather than assumed from a plan.
Measure the machine area with the stand, take-up position and operator clearance in mind, not just the printer footprint. A few photos of the entry route, power outlets and intended install position usually help facilities staff flag issues such as stairs, tight passages or shared production space before the truck arrives. Keep those images with the job record so everyone refers to the same setup.
What the checklist covers
The install sheet runs through site access, unpacking space, electrical requirements, network connection, media handling and first-print sign-off. It is meant to be used by the print team, facilities contact and installer together, so items such as IP details, consumables on hand and waste collection are confirmed before handover. That reduces delays caused by missing cables, blocked access or an unsuitable power point.
For a wider rollout, link the relevant workflow notes and keep model-specific details in one record. To avoid installation-day confusion, list the Epson model, site address, contact person, access restrictions and any special media requirements when using the contact form. Say if the printer is replacing older equipment in the install area.
- Doorway, passage and lift measurements recorded
- Power point and network location confirmed
- Operator handover items checked on site
Site conditions that affect setup
Older premises can present narrow access routes, uneven surfaces or power circuits shared with finishing equipment, so those points need checking before delivery day. Where an Epson unit is replacing an existing machine, note whether the old device must be removed first and whether production needs to continue around the installation. Cape Town city sites and busy Gauteng business parks may also need loading-bay timing or building access arranged in advance.
Dust, ventilation and room temperature matter because they affect media storage, sensor cleanliness and daily operation once the printer is in place. Confirm where rolls, sheets, ink and maintenance items will be kept, and whether the first test prints will be made on house media or stock supplied for commissioning. If backup power is used on site, record exactly which equipment is connected to it.

Details to prepare beforehand
Use the installation checklist to confirm access, power, floor space, network points, media loading, first prints and operator basics before the job is closed off.
Have the site address, delivery contact, machine model and intended network setup ready when working through the checklist. It also helps to note preferred install dates, access hours, any stairs or lift limits, and who will sign off the first prints. Pair the installation record with the relevant job file so it stays with the correct Epson unit.
