Attaching the 500-sheet/1000-sheet/2000-sheet Paper Feed Unit

This section describes how to attach the 500-sheet paper feed unit, 1000-sheet paper feed unit, and 2000-sheet 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 97 kg (214 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.
Before using the new paper feed unit, you must configure settings in the printer driver.
Four or more people are required for installation.
