Attaching the Paper Feed Unit

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.

The printer weights approximately 23 kg (51 lb.). When moving the printer, use the inset grips on both sides, and lift slowly. The printer will break or cause injury if dropped.

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.

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

Lifting the paper feed unit carelessly or dropping it may cause injury.

The printer might topple over and cause damage and injuries if four optional paper feed units are stacked to a printer which is installed directly on the floor. For details about preventing the machine toppling over, contact your service representative.

The printer should always be lifted by two people.
Do not grip on the tray area when lifting the printer.
When four paper feed units are installed, they are detected as "Tray 2", "Tray 3", "Tray 4", and "Tray 5", starting from the upper unit.
The same procedure applies when attaching the optional paper feed unit with casters.
The number of optional trays that can be attached differs depending on the location where the printer is installed.
- If the printer is installed on a desk or other elevated surface, up to three optional paper feed units can be stacked (). If the printer is installed directly on the floor, up to four optional paper feed units can be stacked ().
- To install the printer directly on the floor, stack the optional paper feed unit with casters to the bottom of the printer.
