Attaching the Paper Feed Unit

WARNING

  • If the machine topples, or if a cover or other part gets broken, you must turn the power switch to off and disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Then contact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use the machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • The printer weights approximately 57 kg (126 lb.). When moving the printer, use the inset grips on both sides, and lift slowly. The printer will break or cause injury if dropped.

CAUTION

  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine. Failing to take these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur.

CAUTION

  • The tip-resistant caster table is required if the printer is to be used while placed on the floor with the optional paper feed unit installed. Not using the tip-resistant caster table risks injury to users and damage to the printer resulting from toppling. The tip-resistant caster table can only be installed by a service representative. Contact your service representative for details.

Important

  • Up to three paper feed units can be attached to the printer.

  • When three paper feed units are installed, they are detected as "Tray 2", "Tray 3", and "Tray 4", starting from the upper unit.

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

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

When installing two or three units, first connect the units to each other (using the same procedure as described above), and then connect them as a single unit to the printer.

Note

  • When moving the printer, remove the paper feed unit.

  • After finishing the installation, you can check whether the paper feed unit is properly installed by printing the configuration page from the [List/Test Print] menu. If the paper feed unit is properly installed, "Tray 2", "Tray 3", and "Tray 4" will appear for "Attached Equipment" on the configuration page.

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

  • If the print area is not centered correctly, adjust the printing position for the optional paper feed unit. For details, see "Adjusting Printing Position".

  • For details about printing the configuration page, see "Test Printing".
