Attaching the Paper Feed Unit

This section describes how to attach the 1000-sheet paper feed unit or 2000-sheet paper feed unit to the printer. The procedure is the same for both units. The 1000-sheet paper feed unit is used as an example.

CAUTION

  • The printer weights approximately 73 kg (161 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.

  • It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may result in receiving an electric shock.

  • Before moving the machine, unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the cord is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs or cords can cause an electrical or fire hazard.

Important

  • When attaching multiple options, attach the paper feed unit first.

  • Either the 1000-sheet paper feed unit or 2000-sheet paper feed unit can be attached, but not both.

  • When the 1000-sheet paper feed unit or the 2000-sheet paper feed unit is attached, you can also attach the 1200-sheet paper feed unit. To attach the 1200-sheet paper feed unit, contact your sales or service representative.

  • Before using the new paper feed unit, you must configure settings in the printer driver.

  • To confirm whether the optional paper feed unit was correctly attached, print the configuration page, and check "Attached Equipment" on the configuration page. If the unit was attached correctly, the following will be displayed:

    • 1000-sheet paper feed unit: Lower Paper Trays

    • 2000-sheet paper feed unit: Tray 3

  • If the optional paper feed unit was not installed properly, repeat the procedure from step 2. If it cannot be installed correctly even after reattempting installation, contact your sales or service representative.
