Attaching the 500-sheet Paper Feed Unit to the 1000-sheet Paper Feed Unit

The 500-sheet paper feed unit can be used in combination with the 1000-sheet paper feed unit. In this case, attach the 500-sheet paper feed unit to the 1000-sheet paper feed unit before attaching to the printer. This section explains how to attach the 500-sheet paper feed unit to the 1000-sheet paper feed unit.
• The 500-sheet paper feed unit weighs approximately 13.5 kg (29.8 lb.).
• When moving the paper feed unit, hold the bottom at both sides, and then lift the optional paper feed unit slowly. Lifting it carelessly or dropping it may cause an injury.

Attaching the Paper Feed Unit

This section describes how to attach the 500-sheet paper feed unit, 1000-sheet paper feed unit, and 2000­sheet paper feed unit. The procedure is the same for all three units. The 1000-sheet paper feed unit is used as an example.
• The printer weights approximately 95 kg (209.5 lb.).
• Four or more people are required to move the printer. Hold the handles located on both sides, and then lift it slowly. Lifting it carelessly or dropping it may cause an injury.
• When using the 1000-sheet paper feed unit with the 500-sheet paper feed unit, attach the 500-sheet paper feed unit to the 1000-sheet paper feed unit before attaching to the printer.
• When the 1000-sheet paper feed unit is attached, the 2000-sheet paper feed unit cannot be attached.
• When the 2000-sheet paper feed unit is attached, neither the 500-sheet paper feed unit nor the 1000-sheet paper feed unit can be attached.

Receiving an IP Address Automatically (DHCP)

Follow this procedure to set the printer to receive an "IP address" automatically using "DHCP". The "DHCP" feature is active by default, so this procedure is only required if you have changed the default settings.
• When [DHCP] is selected, you cannot configure settings for the following items:
• "IP Address"
• "Subnet Mask"
• "Gateway Address"
• Consult your network administrator for information about configuring network settings.

Paper Recommendations

This section describes loading and storing paper, details of each type of paper, and the printable area. Configure the settings depending on the type of paper you are using.
• Print quality cannot always be guaranteed for all types of paper that are sold at stores.

Loading Paper

• Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a paper misfeed.
• Do not reuse paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
• When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them on the 2000-sheet paper feed unit with the print side up. Not doing so may cause them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.
Set paper as follows:
• Tray 1, tray 2: print side facing down
• Bypass tray: print side facing down
• Paper feed unit: print side facing up

Storing Paper

Take care when storing paper. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in its original package until time to use it.

the envelope you are using. Select [Maintenance]
[General Settings] [Envelope Setting] [En-
velope 1] to [Envelope 3].
High numbered settings allow thicker paper to be used, but are printed more slowly.
• Load envelopes with the print side down, and the open end of the envelope facing out from the printer.
Additional cautions
• When printing on envelopes, set the envelope size using the printer driver or control panel. See p.110 "Loading custom size paper" for details.
• Before loading envelopes, remove any air in­side and make sure all edges are sharply creased. If envelopes are curled, straighten them before loading.
• If envelopes are curled when they are output, straighten them by rubbing.
• Depending on the printing environment, en­velopes may be output with the edges wrin­kled, with toner marks on the back, or blurred. In addition, when printing solid black areas, streaks may appear where two envelopes touch.
• Depending on the type of envelope or printing environment, envelopes might be output creased or printed improperly. In such cases, try changing the loading orientation.
