INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE > 11
PREPARING A LOCATION FOR THE PRINTER
Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand the
machine weight – 20.4 kg (45lb) (B6200) or 22.6 kg (50lb) (B6300). If
tilted, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The printer has ventilation holes on the side and rear panels. Ensure
that the printer is installed with a minimum clearance of 255mm
(10in) from the rear vent to any wall, 200mm (8in) from the left vent to
any wall, and 300mm (12in) from the right vent to any wall. A poorly
ventilated machine can cause excessive internal heat and fire. The
following diagram shows the minimum clearances required for
normal operation, consumables replacement, and maintenance to
ensure your machine operates at peak performance.

ENVIRONMENT
Ensure that the installation location meets the following conditions:
l Do not place the printer in a hot, humid, dusty or poorly
ventilated environment. Prolonged exposure to such adverse
conditions can result in fire or electric shock.
INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE > 12
l Temperature range 10 – 32 °C, humidity range 15 – 85% (no
condensation). Humidity should be 70% or below at 32 °C,
and temperature should be 28 °C or below at 85% humidity.
NOTE
Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid
heating of a cold room or moving the printer from a location with low
humidity/temperature to high humidity/temperature can cause
condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image
transfer. When condensation occurs, leave the printer for at least 1
hour to acclimatise to the environment before using it.
l Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight.
l Do not expose the printer to the direct draught of air-
conditioning or heating.
INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION PROCEDURE > 13
INSTALLING THE FACE UP (REAR) TRAY
You can install the face up (rear) tray on this printer if required.
NOTE
A face up (rear) tray can be installed on the B6300 only.
Insert the right and left tabs of the face up (rear) tray into the
1.
holes at the back of the printer (1), and lower the tray into
position (2).
Push up the rear output tray lever as shown in the diagram (1)
2.

INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
If you have purchased any optional accessories, install them before
setting the drum-toner cartridge and before loading paper. If there are
no optional accessories to install, proceed to the next section,
“Installing the Drum-Toner Cartridge” on page 35.
WARNING!
Never open or remove machine covers that are secured with screws
unless specifically instructed in this guide. A high voltage component
can cause electric shock.
Do not try to alter the machine configuration, or modify any parts. An
unauthorized modification can cause smoke or fire.
CAUTION!
Ensure the printer is switched off before connecting any interface
cables or options. Connecting cables or options to a live machine may
result in an electric shock.
NOTE
To add more optional accessories when the printer is in use, you need
to change the configuration of optional accessories in the printer driver.
For details, refer to the Online Help for the printer driver.
