Attaching the Paper Feed Unit

When installing multiple options, install the paper feed unit first.

CAUTION

  • Before moving the printer, 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.

  • When lifting the paper feed unit, hold the bottom of it, and then lift it slowly. Lifting it carelessly or dropping it may cause an injury.

  • The printer weighs approximately 22.5 kg (49.6 lb.). When lifting the printer, use the inset grips on both sides. Otherwise the printer could break or cause injury if dropped.

Important

  • Do not slide out more than one paper tray at a time. Fully extending more than one full tray at a time can cause the printer to topple over.

  • The printer should always be lifted by at least two people.

  • Check the printer nameplate to confirm the model code.

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

7Plug the printer's power cord back into the wall outlet, and then turn on the power.

Note

  • After finishing installation, you can check whether the paper feed unit is properly installed: Print the configuration page from the [List/Test Print] menu. If it is installed properly, you will see "Optional Paper Feed Tray 2" or "Optional Paper Feed Tray 2, Optional Paper Feed Tray 3" for "Attached Equipment" on the configuration page.

  • If the paper feed unit is not installed properly, reinstall it from the start. If you cannot install it properly even after attempting reinstallation, contact your sales or service representative.

  • To attach two paper feed units at the same time, first stack them one upon the other, and then attach them as a single unit.
