Features
Welcome
Thank you for selecting the 45 PPM Laser Printer. In this manual you will find important informa-
tion regarding operation and care of your printer. Please read this manual in its entirety and keep it
at hand for later reference.
Features
Your laser printer comes with the following features.
High-speed and high-quality printing
The 45 PPM Laser Printer has paper output of 45 pages per minute with a resolution of up to
600 x 600 dpi, assuring razor-sharp output of graphics and text, even at very small point sizes.
Two integral interfaces
Base configurations of the 45 PPM Laser Printer have two integral interfaces: a bidirectional
parallel port and an Ethernet 10/100BaseT port.
Flexible Paper Source and Delivery
The printer comes standard with two 500-sheet universal paper cassettes and the MultiBypass Feeder. An optional 2500-sheet High Capacity Feeder (HCF), Envelope Feeder, and
Duplexer can be installed. The printer also features the following paper output options—
Face Down Output Tray, Face-Up Tray, and Finisher/Stapler.
Ergonomic operation
The easy-to-read display clearly shows the operation status of the printer. Ergonomically
shaped front-panel push-buttons are used to control all functions.
User-friendly EP cartridge
The integrated EP cartridge contains both the toner and the photosensitive drum in a single
housing, which makes it easy to replace the cartridge.
Continuous printing of up to 3550 sheets
The two standard paper cassettes hold about 500 sheets of paper each and the multi bypass
feeder holds 50 sheets. Trays 3, 4, and 5 in the optional HCF unit provide a total of 2500
sheets. Together they allow continuous printing of up to 3550 sheets.

Installation Precautions
About this Chapter
Describes a suitable location for your laser printer and how to unpack and install it. Be sure to read
this chapter before setting up the printer.
Installation Precautions
Before unpacking your laser printer, it is recommended that you read the following to assist locating a suitable spot for your new laser printer. To make optimum use of the printer, observe the following precautions when locating the printer.
Environment
WARNING: The installation surface must be stable and very sturdy to support the considerable weight of the printer. If the printer falls over, there is a severe risk of injuries.
Place the printer on a horizontal, sturdy and stable surface. The printer weighs about 106 lbs.
(48 kg) and may cause injury if it falls over.
Always place the printer under the following conditions:
Temperature: 50º to 95º F (10 to 35º C)
Humidity: 15 to 85% (non-condensation)
Be sure to keep the temperature to below 82º F (28º C) if the humidity is 85%
If the temperature changes drastically from a cold environment to a warm environment, condensation may develop inside the printer and cause print problems. Therefore, be sure to let
the printer rest for some time to adjust to the new temperature.
Do not subject the printer to direct sunlight or a malfunction may result.
Do not place the printer in a location with high temperature and humidity, poor ventilation,
or high level of dust, otherwise a fire hazard or electric shock may result.
Do not place the printer near heaters or similar objects, otherwise a fire hazard may result.
Never block the ventilation openings of the printer, otherwise the internal temperature will
build up and cause a fire hazard.
Do not place the printer near alcohol, benzine, or other volatile and flammable materials, or a
fire hazard may result.
Space requirements
CAUTION: Be sure to leave ample space between the ventilation openings on the printer
and the nearest wall or other surface, otherwise overheating may occur leading to a fire
hazard. For easy operation, maintenance and replacing of consumables, you should also
leave the clearances shown below around the printer. Installation of the printer should be
carried out by qualified service personnel.

5. Refer to the cautions below on how to carry the printer. Then, with the assistance of another
person, lift up the printer and place it on the floor.
WARNING:
1) This printer is very heavy. The weight of the main unit without paper cassette, consumables, and paper is about 106 lbs (48kg). Never attempt to lift the printer by yourself. The
printer should always be carried by two persons.
2) To carry the printer, grasp the four bottom corners from the right and left sides, not
from the front (where the control panel is located) and back sides. Never try to lift the
printer while holding any part other than the bottom corners otherwise there will be a
severe risk of injury if the printer is dropped.
3) When lifting the printer, correct posture is important to prevent injuries.
6. Relocate the printer to a flat and sturdy surface meeting the “Location and Environment Pre-
cautions” on page B-3.
NOTE:Save the carton and packing materials for later use in case you need to ship the printer at a
later time. It is particularly important that you save the wooden shipping pallet.
CAUTION: Never attempt to ship your printer without using the wooden pallet. Severe damage may occur.
