Select a location for your printer
Step 1: Select a location
for your printer
CAUTION! The printer weighs 46.8 kg
(103 lbs) and requires at least two
people to lift it safely.
Choosing the correct location for your
laser printer is vital to ensuring that the
printer provides you with the quality of
service you expect.
Some factors to consider when selecting
a place to set up your printer include:
• The amount of space your printer
and any options will require
• The type of environment
necessary for optimum printer
performance
Allowing enough space When choosing a place to set up your
printer, be sure to allow enough space
for the printer and any options you may
have purchased.
You will also need to leave enough room
to open the printer paper trays and side
doors, and to access any optional output
bins. It’s also important to allow space
for proper ventilation around the printer.

Select a location for your printer
For a base printer When selecting a location for your
printer, make sure you have at least the
amount of space indicated in the figure.
With a duplex unit and
a high capacity feeder or
base cabinet
When selecting a location for a printer
with a high capacity feeder and duplex
unit, make sure you have at least the
amount of space indicated in the figure.
If you install a base cabinet rather than a
high capacity feeder, your printer will
require the same amount of space as
shown in the figure.

Select a location for your printer
Considering
environmental issues
When choosing a place to set up the
printer, make sure the location you select
is:
• A firm, level surface where the
printer won’t be subjected to
strong vibration
• Well ventilated
• Away from the direct airflow of air
conditioners, heaters, or
ventilators
• Free of temperature or humidity
extremes or fluctuations
• Clean, dry, and free of dust
• Away from direct sunlight
Moving the printer At some point in the future you may
decide to move the printer to a new
location. The publications CD provides
details about removing options before
moving the printer.
If you’re going to move the printer, keep
the following in mind:
• Because the printer is heavy
(approximately 46.8 kg [103 lbs]),
two people are required to lift it
safely.
• Remove the print cartridge before
you move the printer. If the printer
is moved with the cartridge
installed, toner may spill out and
damage the printer.
• Be sure to plug the printer into a
properly grounded outlet in the
new location.

drawers
• Multipurpose feeder
• Power cord
• Print cartridge
• Setup Guide with a publications
CD
The publications CD is located in
the back of this book.

Install the multipurpose feeder
Step 3: Install the
multipurpose feeder
Note: If you will be attaching the
optional envelope feeder during setup,
skip this step and continue with either
Step 4: “Set up the optional
high capacity feeder” on page 9 or
Step 5: “Set up printer supplies” on
page 17.
Your printer comes with a multipurpose
feeder that can be used to load paper,
transparencies, labels, or card stock.
The multipurpose feeder holds
approximately 35 sheets of paper.
CAUTION! If you are installing the
multipurpose feeder sometime after
setting up the printer, turn the printer off
and unplug the power cord before
continuing.
Note: You can install the multipurpose
feeder with or without the duplex unit
already attached to the printer.
To install the multipurpose feeder:
1 Hold the multipurpose feeder by
both sides.

Install the multipurpose feeder
2 Tilt the feeder end going into the
printer first down slightly, as you
align the posts on the feeder with
the holes above the opening in the
printer.
Make sure the top of the feeder
fits over the top of the edge
coming out of the printer. (See the
illustration on page 8.)

Step 4: Set up the optional
high capacity feeder
CAUTION! If you are installing a high
capacity feeder sometime after setting
up the printer, turn the printer off and
unplug the power cord and any other
cables before continuing.
Your printer supports either an optional
high capacity feeder or an optional
base cabinet.
The high capacity feeder contains one
500-sheet tray and two 1000-sheet trays
for a total capacity of 2500 sheets of
print media. The base cabinet is optional
furniture that is the same size and shape
as the high capacity feeder. It provides
storage space while aligning an optional
mailbox or finisher with the printer.
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800

Set up the optional high capacity feeder
To set up the high capacity feeder or
base cabinet:
Warning! Lift the high capacity feeder
from the bottom.
1 Remove the high capacity feeder
or cabinet from its packing
materials.
Warning! Be sure you remove the
sheets of foam packing from the bottom
of both trays before you print from the
high capacity feeder.
Be sure to remove the foam
packing and tape from the trays.
Save the carton and packing
materials in case you need to
repack the option.
2 Make sure you have the following
items:
— 2500-sheet high capacity
feeder or base cabinet
— 2 locking clips
— 2 thumbscrews
— tray labels

Attaching a high
capacity feeder or
base cabinet
The steps in this section explain how to
connect your printer to a high capacity
feeder. When the steps for a base
cabinet are different, a note to the left of
the step provides the necessary
information.
CAUTION! The printer weighs 46.8 kg
(103 lbs) and requires at least two
people to lift it safely.
1 Make sure the high capacity
feeder cable is situated in the
notch on the back of the feeder.
2 Have someone help you lift the
printer.
— Person 1: Grasp the printer on
the right side by the
handholds.
— Person 2: Grasp under the
printer where the multipurpose
feeder attaches.

Set up the optional high capacity feeder
Warning! Do not slide the printer
across the high capacity feeder to
position it.
3 Carefully place the printer on top
of the high capacity feeder. Make
sure the trays on the printer are
lined up on the same side as the
trays on the high capacity feeder.
Be sure to align all four corners on
the bottom of the printer with the
corners on the top of the high
capacity feeder. Small metal pins
on the top of the high capacity
feeder fit into grooves on the
bottom of the printer.

Set up printer supplies
Step 5: Set up printer supplies
You have unpacked your printer and
chosen a location for it. Now you are
ready to set up supplies.
Installing the
print cartridge
Each print cartridge supports
approximately 30,000 pages of singlesided printing, depending on the types of
jobs you print and the amount of toner
required for each page. The printer
displays a message when it is time to
replace the cartridge. You may want to
keep a supply of print cartridges handy.
Refer to the publications CD for details.
To install the print cartridge:
1 Open the printer side and front
doors (Doors A and F).
2 Remove the print cartridge from
its packing materials.
Warning! Do not remove the yellow
tape from the print cartridge at this point.
3 Turn the cartridge so that the

Loading the
multipurpose feeder
The multipurpose feeder comes
standard with the printer and holds
approximately 35 sheets of 20 lb paper.
Note: You can load the multipurpose
feeder with or without the optional duplex
unit attached to the printer.
You can use the multipurpose feeder one
of two ways:
• As a print media tray
In this case, you load print media
in the feeder with the intention of
leaving the media in the feeder.
Make sure you change the Paper
Type and Paper Size settings for
the feeder. See page 94 for more
information.
• As a manual bypass feeder
In this case, you send a print job
to the multipurpose feeder,
specifying the type and size of
media from your computer. The
printer then prompts you to load
the appropriate print media before
it prints.
This is useful for single-page print
jobs when you want to print on
media you may not keep in a tray,
such as letterhead.
