Can I setup an ipf 8300 without its printer stand?

[All Thumbs]

Like other members I am considering an ipf 8300 or 6300 as the end of the rebates near.  Like other members I don't have enough room.  Is it possible to locate the printer on a table top or flat surface?  I have a set of "flat files", as used by architects, which would have to do double duty and host the printer.  I know, the cut sheet basket won't fit and all, but the basic idea is "are 8300s/6300s designed to be mounted only on their stands"? 

Thanks!

Just for the record, I called canon support today and asked them if I could set an 8300 on a table or is the officially supplied stand necessary and they said, "no" the stand isn't necessary.  They gave the usual caveat about this being a really big device and a coffee table probably won't do.
