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:
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.
15

FS-5900C Service Manual
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.

the connector latches around each end of the RAM
SIMM to lock it in place.
6. Reinstall the controller board.
7. Reinstall the two screws.
