Mounting the paper trays
1.
Insert the input tray in lower front of the
multifunctional copier so that it slides
completely into the slots on the underside of
the machine casing.
2.
Insert the output tray in the lateral guides in the
paper output area, above the input feed tray.
Make sure the guides in the paper output area
are horizontal before inserting the tray.
Installation 5
Loading paper
1.
Raise the output tray, to simplify access to the
automatic feeder.
Note the maximum fill indicators on the side
guides of the automatic feeder.
2.
Pull out the adjustable paper length guide on
the input tray and make sure that its adjustable
side guides are completely open.
3.
After fanning the paper thoroughly, load it as a
single stack on the input tray, inserting it
carefully until it stops inside the machine.
The surface to be printed should be face
downwards in the paper tray. This is
especially important for ink jet media, which is
coated on one side.
4.
Close the side guides against the paper
margins and the paper length guide against
the trailing edge.
Make sure the paper height is below the
maximum fill line on the side guides.
6 Installation
5.
Lower the output tray to its operating position.
During multifunctional copier operation, the
side guides on the output tray must remain
open and the paper length guide should be
positioned to accommodate the paper size
used (LETTER, LEGAL, A4 are marked on the
paper length guide).
Installation 7
Connecting your multifunctional copier
Make sure that neither your multifunctional
copier nor your PC is powered.
1.
Plug the connector of the parallel cable that
comes with your multifunctional copier into the
socket on the rear of the machine and close
the spring clips on it.
2.
Connect the other end of the parallel interface
cable to the appropriate port on your
computer.
3.
Insert the power cord in the receptacle on the
rear of the machine.
4.
Plug the other end of the power cord into a
nearby wall outlet.
The outlet should only supply power to your
multifunctional copier and not be shared.
5.
Press the ON/OFF switch on the left side of
your multifunctional copier to switch it on.
The ON/OFF switch does not electrically
disconnect the multifunctional copier from the
power supply. To do this, you must remove
the power cable plug from the power supply
outlet. Ensure that you install the
multifunctional copier near the power outlet
and that this is easily accessible.
Your multifunctional copier will take a few moments to execute an initialisation cycle; the
liquid crystal display (LCD) on the operator panel shows INITIALIZING. As soon as
initialisation is completed, the LCD will show LANGUAGE: -+ ENGLISH.
