Apple 12/640PS manual Installing the 500-sheet cassette and feeder

Installing the 500-sheet cassette and feeder

Follow these instructions for installing the 500-sheet cassette and feeder. For instructions on loading the feeder with paper, see “Filling the Optional 500-Sheet Cassette” in Chapter 10.

Before you install the 500-sheet feeder:

mThe printer must be turned off and the power cord unplugged.

mThe printer must be disconnected from your computer or network.

The cassette base adds approximately 5 inches to the height of the LaserWriter 12/640 PS. Begin by selecting a location for the LaserWriter 12/640 PS that provides enough room to accommodate the increased height of the printer.

If you intend to keep the printer in its current location, make sure that adequate room will be available for opening the top cover, loading paper, and maintaining the printer. You will also need to temporarily move the LaserWriter 12/640 PS from its current location to place the cassette base in its place. When moving the printer, be sure to place it on a strong, stable surface that can support its weight.

IMPORTANT If you purchased the optional duplex printing unit, follow the instructions outlined below. The procedure is the same, but the 500-sheet cassette and feeder is installed under the duplex printing unit.

1Turn off and unplug the printer, and disconnect the network cables.

2Unpack the 500-sheet cassette and feeder and remove any packing materials within the base and paper cassette.
