SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

2.1

Install the Toner Cartridge

Grasp the front cover by both sides of the cover and pull it toward you to open.

Remove the toner cartridge from its bag and remove the paper covering the toner cartridge completely out of the cartridge. Discard the paper.

Gently shake the cartridge from side to side to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if left exposed for more than a few minutes.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

2.2

Locate the cartridge slots inside the printer, one on each side.

Grasp the handle and insert the cartridge in the printer until it snaps into place.

Install the Toner Cartridge

Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

Note: When printing text at 5% coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of approximately

2,500 pages.

SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

2.3

Loading Paper

Pull the paper support on the automatic input tray up, until it stops.

Before loading the paper, flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, then fan them.

Tap the edges of the stack on a table top to straighten them to prevent paper jams.

Load a stack of paper into the automatic input tray with the print side facing up.

SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

2.4

Do not load too much. This tray holds up to 150 sheets.

Keep the paper below this height mark.

Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper stack.

Load Paper

Notes:

• Do not push the width guide far enough to cause the media to warp.

• If you do not adjust the width guide, it may cause paper jam.

• If you are needed to add more sheets of paper while printing, remove the remaining paper from the tray at first. Then, reinsert them with the new paper. Note that adding new paper into the remains in the tray may cause paper jams or multiple feeding.

SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

2.5

Connect to the Computer with a Parallel Cable (ML-1210 Only)

Note: To connect the printer to the parallel port of the computer

requires a certified parallel cable. You will need to buy the IEEE1284 compliant cable.

Make sure both the printer and the computer are turned off.

Plug the parallel printer cable into the connector on the back of the printer.

Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the cable plug.

Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface port on your computer, and tighten the screws.

See your computer documentation if you need help.
