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 3.4 for more
information.
Place the machine on a flat and stable surface, not letting it tilt more
than 2 mm (0.08 inches). Otherwise, it may affect the print quality.
2Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.
4Install all four of the toner cartridges.
5Load paper. (See "Loading paper" on page 4.4.)
6Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine.
7Turn the machine on.
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 print quality.
Setting up the network
You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your
network printer. You can set up the basic network settings with the
machine’s control panel.
Note
• If you want to use the USB cable, connect between a computer
and your machine. Then, refer to the software installation in
Software section.
