4. NOTE FOR INSTALLATION
CAUTION:MX-PEX2 is compatible with both MX-5500N/6200N/7000N and MX-3500/4500 series.
The MFP model is detected when the power is turned on for the first time after the shipment from the factory, and the system that matches the
MFP (MX-5500N/6200N/7000N or MX-3500/4500 series) is started.
After the system is started, the initial setup screen is displayed.
After the completion of the setup, the detection of MFP model at the boot-up will not be executed.
It is necessary to return the controller to the default state if you want to re-connect it to another MFP after the setup.
System setting → Printer Setting (administrator area) → Fiery Setting → Run Setup
Password: Fiery.1 (Default) → Factory Default
NOTE: Please make sure to reset to the default state if you connect the controller to another model, because the controller starts
even when it is connected to another MFP (e.g., the controller set for MX-3500/4500 series to the MFP for MX-5500N/6200N/
7000N) even after completion of the setup.
NOTE: MX-PEX1 was shipped after setting the basic setting (the information of MFP) by default, but MX-PEX2 is shipped in the fac-
tory shipment setting (without setting of the information of MFP), because it is necessary to detect MFP when turning on the
power.
