If you are already using the machine and have newly purchased an option, make sure that the LINE indicator and the DATA indicator on the operation panel are off, turn off the power, and remove the power plug from the outlet before starting installation work.

☞ TURNING OFF THE POWER OF THE MACHINE (page 40)

INSTALLING THE 500-SHEET PAPER FEED UNIT

If you purchased a 500-sheet paper feed unit, follow the steps below to install the unit on the main unit. If you are installing multiple 500-sheet paper feed units, attach MX-CSX1 and MX-CSX2 units together before installing the units on the main unit. The order of unit installation should always be main unit, MX-CSX1, MX-CSX2.

Main unit

INSTALLING THE 500-SHEET PAPER FEED UNIT

X Installing multiple paper feed units

(1) MX-CSX2 + MX-CSX2

☞ INSTALL THE MX-CSX1 OR THE MX-CSX2 TO

THE MX-CSX2 (page 10)

• Only the MX-CSX1 can be installed directly under the main unit. Take care that you perform the installation steps in the correct order. The paper trays of the main unit, MX-CSX1, and MX-CSX2 are not interchangeable. If a tray is installed in the wrong location, it will not be possible to correctly close the tray. After removing a tray from a unit, be sure to replace the tray in its correction location.

• When two or more optional paper feed units are installed, there is a danger that the machine will topple. When installing two or more paper feed units, be sure to install the specified cabinet to prevent toppling before using the machine.

☞ INSTALL THE MAIN

UNIT TO THE MX-CSX1 (page 14)

INSTALLING THE 500-SHEET PAPER FEED UNIT

INSTALL THE MX-CSX1 OR THE MX-CSX2 TO THE MX-CSX2

In the example below, installation of the MX-CSX1 to the MX-CSX2 is described. Installation of the MX-CSX2 to another MX-CSX2 is performed similarly. If you are installing one MX-CSX1 unit and two MX-CSX2 units (three units altogether) on the machine, first attach the MX-CSX2 units together as explained below, and then repeat the procedure to attach the MX-CSX1 unit to the MX-CSX2 units.

If you only purchased the MX-CSX1:

☞ INSTALL THE MAIN UNIT TO THE MX-CSX1 (page 14)

Remove the 500-sheet paper feed unit from the polyethylene bag, and

remove the fixing tape and the protective material.

INSTALLING THE 500-SHEET PAPER FEED UNIT

Put the MX-CSX1 (or MX-CSX2) on the MX-CSX2 so that they fit

together.

• The left cover is a sliding cover. When lifting the unit, take care that it does not slide.

• When installing a unit, take care that your fingers do not become pinched between units.

When the MX-CSX1(or the upper MX-CSX2) is put on the MX-CSX2, it is automatically locked at the left and the right of the rear side.

INSTALLING THE 500-SHEET PAPER FEED UNIT

Pull out the trays of the MX-CSX1 (or the upper MX-CSX2) and the

MX-CSX2.

Loosen the hand screws on the left and the right sides.

Hang the fixing clasp on the MX-CSX1 (or the upper MX-CSX2), and

tighten the hand screws.

Push in and close the trays.

Shake the new developer cartridge 5 or 6 times as shown.

Hold the developer cartridge firmly as shown below and shake forward and back, left and right. Remove the protective material after shaking the developer cartridge.

Protective material

• The seal must not be removed when shaking the new developer cartridge.

• Take care not to damage the developer cartridge when shaking it. If damaged, the developer in the cartridge may leak out.

• The part of the developer cartridge shown in the illustration is easily deformed or damaged. Do not touch this part when handling the cartridge.

INSTALLING THE DEVELOPER CARTRIDGE

Insert the new developer cartridges (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and

Black) horizontally.

• Support the developer cartridge near the middle with your hand and insert the new developer cartridges horizontally.

• The shape of the developer cartridge varies by colour.

Locations of developer cartridges

(M)(Y) (C) (Bk)

(Y): Yellow (M): Magenta (C): Cyan (Bk): Black

• Do not tilt the developer cartridge or insert it in the wrong direction or orientation. This may damage the cartridge and the drum or cause a failure.

• When inserting the developer cartridge, grasp it with both hands at the middle.

• Do not remove the seal from the developer cartridge until the cartridge is installed in the machine. If the seal is removed when the cartridge is not locked, the cartridge may fall out of the machine.

Insert with the arrow on the cartridge aligned with the arrow on the machine.

INSTALLING THE DEVELOPER CARTRIDGE

seal with the other hand.

Slowly pull the seal straight and horizontally out.

If excessive force is used or the seal is pulled out diagonally, it may tear.

There is a mark (red belt) on the end of the seal. After removing the seal, be sure to verify that the mark (red belt) is on the end of the seal. If the seal has been cut on the developer cartridge, the cartridge cannot be used. Replace with a new developer cartridge.

INSTALLING THE DEVELOPER CARTRIDGE

Close the main charger cover and rotate the lock levers in the

direction of the arrows to lock the cover.

When the lock levers are vertical, the cover is locked.
