and further information is contained in the Reference Manual on the Online CD-ROM,
which is inserted at the back of this manual.

Unpacking
Remove the printer and all accessories from the packing carton. Save the carton and
packing materials in case you need to repack the printer.
Make sure you have the following items:
• Toner cartridge (Please, refer to page 4 and page 5)
• Power cord
• Setup CD-ROM
• Quick Install Guide
Notes:
• If you need help during setup, or if any items are missing or damaged, notify your dealer
immediately.
• You need a Centronics-compatible parallel printer cable. The cable is not shipped with your
printer. You can purchase this cable from your dealer or retailer. Make sure the cable is IEEE
1284-compliant. Ask your dealer for assistance if you need help selecting the right cable.
Selecting a Location
Place your printer on a flat, stable surface near your workstation. Leave enough space
around the printer, so that you can easily:
• open the printer cover
• load the paper
• retrieve the paper
• open the front output tray and retrieve the paper from the front output tray
• allow air circulation around the vents to prevent the printer from overheating
Do not place the printer:
• In direct sunlight
• Near heat sources or air conditioners
• In dusty or dirty environments

3. Insert the paper in the paper feeder.
If the paper has a preferred print side,
place the print side facing you. If you
use letterhead paper, load the paper
with the letter-head edge down and
facing you.
Loading Paper
For best results, use high quality 75g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper.
Note: For more information on loading paper and other print material, refer
to ‘Loading Print Material’ on page 18.
1. Pull the extender on the automatic
paper feeder up, until it stops.
2. Before loading the paper, flex the
sheets back and forth to loosen them,
then fan them. Tap the edges on a
table top to straighten them. Doing
this before you load paper helps
prevent paper jams.
Don’t load too much. This feeder
holds up to 150 sheets.
