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

Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the altitude setting to optimize your printing. See "Altitude adjustment" on page 28 for more information.
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface so that there is no incline greater than 2 mm (0.08 inch). Otherwise, printing quality may be affected.
•System requirements
•Installing the software
•Machine's basic settings
2.Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3.Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.

5.Load paper. (See "Loading paper" on page 36.)
6.Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine.
7.Turn the machine on.
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.
PRINTING A DEMO PAGE
Print a demo page to make sure that the machine is operating correctly. To print a demo page:
In ready mode, press and hold the OK button for about 2 seconds.
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 through the machine's control panel.
