Title: Question for owners of Canon iPF 8400 -- please help!
Post by: alan a on December 31, 2014, 08:25:03 pm: What are the actual dimensions of the 8400 -- NOT including the basket or the stand? Width, depth and height? Need to know for delivery and placement.

Canon specs state that it is 38.5" deep, but that is almost certainly wrong based on this video:

I was told that the height is 22.5". Based on that, my estimate from the video is that the depth is about 28" -- not 38.5 as stated by Canon. I assume the larger figure includes a full extension of the basket.

Canon reports that the width is 74.5.

If any of the owners of the 8400 can take a quick measurement, it would be greatly appreciated.

WITHOUT THE STAND, depth is still 29"-30", and height is about 22".

Post by: alan a on January 01, 2015, 10:51:33 am: Agreed. Based on a quick review of the manual, it appears that sheets and rolls both load from the front -- correct? I will have plenty of room for that. Getting behind such a huge printer would be difficult at best.

What I need is the exact measurement of the DEPTH, not including the basket, with and without the stand. That is important for delivery. I very much appreciate Roscolo's response, but if anyone can provide a more precise measurement, that would be greatly appreciated. In narrow doorways, an inch makes a big difference.

Post by: David Eckels on January 01, 2015, 01:36:34 pm: My ipf8400 is 28 inches wide/deep. It just fit through a 29 inch door frame, but I had to take the door off its hinges. I assembled the stand in the studio then had the guys carry the head in through the door and set it on the stand. It is against one wall and I have no problems with any access.
