Step 1: Choose your setup (local or network printer)
Local printerA local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or parallel cable. The
local printer is intended to be used by the computer to which it is attached. If you are
attaching a local printer, you must install the printer driver on your computer before
setting up your printer.
Continue with Step 2: “Install drivers for local printing” on page 7.
Network printerA network printer is a printer attached to a network either by a network cable (such as
Ethernet) or through the use of a server. If you are attaching a network printer, you must
set up your printer on the network first, and then install the printer driver.
Continue with Step 3: “Unpack the printer” on page 9.
Step 2: Install drivers for local printing
The printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer.
The procedure to install drivers depends on the operating system you are using. Use
the following table to find driver installation instructions for your particular operating
system. If you need additional help, refer to the documentation that shipped with your
computer and your software.

WindowsSome Windows operating systems may already include a printer driver that is
compatible with your printer. This may mean that installation will seem automatic in later
versions of Windows. System printer drivers work well for simple printing, but they
contain less functionality than our enhanced custom printer driver.
Note: Installing a custom driver will not
replace the system driver. A separate
printer object will be created and appear
in the Printers folder.
Using Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000, Windows XP,

Note: USB support is not available for
Windows NT operating systems.
Use the drivers CD that shipped with your printer to install the custom printer driver and
obtain all the enhanced printer features and functionality.

UNIX/LinuxLocal printing is supported on many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun Solaris and
Red Hat.
Note: If your drivers CD does not
contain any UNIX/Linux printer driver
packages, contact the place you
purchased your printer to see if your
printer is supported.
Some printer driver packages are available on the drivers CD. The User’s Guide in each
package gives detailed instructions for installing and using printers in UNIX and Linux
environments.
All the printer driver packages support local printing using a parallel connection. The
driver package for Sun Solaris supports USB connections to Sun Ray appliances and
Sun workstations.
After you have installed the drivers on your computer, you are ready to set up the printer.
Go to “Unpack the printer” on page 9.

2 Place the drawer in the location you have chosen for your printer.
3 If you are installing a 500-sheet drawer on top of the 2000-sheet drawer, attach
the stabilizing bars:
a Place the two stabilizing bars on the ground, narrow side up.
b Lower the 2000-sheet drawer onto the bars, making sure you align the holes
in the drawer with the holes in the bars.
c Screw the bars into place using four screws (two screws for each bar).

Installing a 500-sheet
drawer
Your printer supports up to three additional 500-sheet drawers. However, if you install a
2000-sheet drawer, you can only add one additional 500-sheet drawer.
Warning: If you have an optional
duplex unit and a 2000-sheet drawer, you
must install a 500-sheet drawer between
the duplex unit and the 2000-sheet
drawer.
1 Unpack the 500-sheet drawer and remove any packing material.
2 Place the drawer in the location you have chosen for your printer or install it on
another drawer:
a Align the holes in the 500-sheet drawer with the positioning posts on the
lower drawer.
b Lower the 500-sheet drawer into place. Make sure it is seated securely on
the other drawer.
3 If you are installing a 500-sheet drawer on top of a 2000-sheet drawer, secure
them with stabilizing screws.
a Insert the screws through the holes next to the positioning posts on the
500-sheet drawer.
b Hand-tighten the screws.
Even when fully inserted, the screws allow some space between the
drawers.
4 Install another 500-sheet drawer, or continue with “Installing a duplex unit” on
page 13 or “Positioning the printer” on page 13.
Set up the printer and paper handling options
12
Installing a duplex unitYour printer supports an optional duplex unit that lets you print on both sides of a sheet
of paper.
Warning: If you have an optional
duplex unit and a 2000-sheet drawer, you
must install a 500-sheet drawer between
the duplex unit and the 2000-sheet
drawer.
1 Unpack the duplex unit and remove any packing material.
2 Place the duplex unit in the location you have chosen for your printer or install it
on a 500-sheet drawer:
a Align the positioning posts on the drawer with the holes in the duplex unit.

expander
Note: After you unpack the output
expander, install it immediately.
Otherwise, the edges of the mounting
brackets could damage tabletops or
fabrics.
Warning: The output expander tray is
designed to hold the weight of print
material only. Do not use it as a shelf;
excess weight may cause it to disengage
from the output expander.
Your printer supports an optional output expander that lets you stack up to 650 sheets
of paper in one bin.
1 Unpack the output expander and remove any packing material.
