Setting up the hardware

This section shows the steps to set up the hardware which is explained in the Quick Install Guide. Make sure you read Quick Install Guide and complete following steps.

1Select a stable location.

Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow extra space to open covers and trays.

The area should be well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight or sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to the edge of your desk or table.

Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the altitude setting to optimize your printing. See page 3.9 for more information.

Place the machine on a flat and stable surface for not letting it lean more than 2 mm (0.08 inches). Otherwise, it may affect the printing quality.

2 Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.

3 Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.

4 Install both the toner cartridge.

5 Load paper. (See "Loading paper in the tray" on page 4.5.)

6 Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine.

7 Turn the machine on.

8 Install the software. See Software section.

Note

When the printer driver is in installation process, the driver installer detects the locale information of your operating system, and sets the default paper size for your machine. If you use the different Windows locale, you must change the paper size of your machine for matching your commonly used paper size. Go to the printer properties to change the paper size after installation completes.

Caution

When you move the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. Otherwise, the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, which can cause damage to the machine or bad printing quality.
