Setup Guide

ETTING 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.

2.2

SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

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 (1,000 pages for the toner cartridge that is shipped with the printer).

ETTING 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.

2.4

SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

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.
