2. Installation, Setup, and Repacking

2.1 Installation Requirements

2.1.1 Environment

Temperature Range: 10°C to 32.5°C [50°F to 90.5°F] (T emperature fluctuation: ±10°C per hour or less) Humidity Range: 15% RH to 80% RH (Humidity fluctuation: ±20 °C per hour or less) Weight: 51 kg (112 lbs.)

Precautions for installation

Place the unit on a stable, level surface. Do not install the unit under the following conditions:

• Extremely high or low temperature

• Extremely high or low humidity

• Direct exposure to sunlight

• Areas of high dust concentration

• Areas of poor ventilation

• Areas exposed to chemical fumes

• Areas with extreme vibration

• Directly in air conditioning flow

2.1.2 Minimum Space Requirements

Allow air flow around the printer to prevent overheating. The following minimum spaces are required:

Rear

35 cm (13.8") Controller Board

2.2 Setup

2.2.1 Removing the Packing Material

1. Remove the plastic bag from the printer.

2. Remove any adhesive tape that holds the output tray against the printer.

Note:

Do not throw away the packing materials. They may be required to ship or transport the printer in the future. To provide optimum print quality , the unit must be kept upright and level during unpacking.

2.2.2 Installing the Optional Paper Feeder

Warning:

1. Place the paper feeder on a solid table or cart selected for the printer.

2. Place the printer on top of the paper feeder. Always kee p the printer upright.

3. Make sure that the left and right alignment pins fit in the holes in the base of the printer.

The printer weighs about 51 kg (112 lbs.) and the paper feeder weighs about 14.4 kg (36.3 lbs.). Observe standard precautions for lifting heavy objects.

The printer is not permanently attached to the paper feeder. When moving the printer, turn the power off and remove the power cord, then move the pieces separately; moving the printer incorrectly may damage it and may cause personal injury.

2. Turn the upper green lever clockwise until it stops

and the arrows are aligned. (This applies tension to the internal belts).

3. Close the front cover.

2.2.4 I nstalling the Toner Developers

2. Installation, Setup, and Repacking

Note:

The toner developers shipped with the printer are starter developers. They are installed in exactly the same manner as t h e standard developers; the only difference i s that the starter developers have less toner. (Page life expectancy is 5,000 pages for all toner developers except black which has a life expectancy of 6,000 pages.)

1. Remove the packaging from the toner developer.

2. Remove the shipp ing cover from the developer.

Caution:

Do not tilt the developer to avoid possible toner spillage.

3. Open the printer’s right side door.

Caution:

Do not leave the right side door open for a long time; the imaging unit inside is exposed to light and will be damaged.

4. Insert the toner developer in the appropriately

labeled slot. From top to bottom, the developer order is BLACK, CYAN, MAGENTA, and YELLOW.

5. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 4 for each toner developer.

6. When all the toner developers have been installed,

close the right side door.

Note: Save all packing material for shipping purposes.

2.2.5 Adding Paper or Transparencies

The printer is shipped with one media cassette of either Letter or A4 paper size. The printer can also use five different cassettes as follows:

Tray Size

A4 Paper 210 × 297 mm (8.27" × 11.7") A4 Transparency 210 × 297 mm (8.27" × 11.7") Letter Paper 8.5" 11" (216 × 279 mm) Letter Transparency 8.5" × 11" (216 × 279 mm) Legal paper 8.5" × 14" (216 × 356 mm)

Notes:• Make sure that correct media is loaded. Each cassette is designed and labeled for only paper or

transparency. If the wrong media type is loaded in a tray, an error message will be displayed when printing is attempted.

• If the paper feeder is installed and the automatic tray switching feature (for example, for a large

print job) is used, make sure that all trays in the printer at any one time are the same media type and size.

• To optimize the printer’s performance, always use clean, unused media.

• Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the media, which can result in a smudged print.

• Reusing media that has been fed through the printer (for exampl e, after jams or if the media is

ejected without being printed) can reduce the life of the consumables and paper path components.

2.3 Installing RAM SIMMs (Option)

1. Turn off the printer. Do not unplug the printer; this preserves a ground path to dissipate static charges.

2. Remove the two screws from the controller board.

3. Pull out the controller board.

Controller Board

4. When installing a single RAM SIMM:

Insert a memory module in connector YS3 or YS4 and tilt the module down until it locks in place. When the SIMM is properly inserted, a tab on each end of the connector slips into a hole on each end of the RAM SIMM. Also, a pawl on each end of the connector latches around each end of the RAM SIMM to lock it in place. Go to step 6.
