This guide provides the basic information you need to use your

EPL-N1200 with a PC running Microsoft®Windows®or DOS.

For more information about printing on special paper, using

the printer’s control panel, using the utilities that came with

your printer, and other information that will help you get the

results you want, see the Reference Guide.

1Finding a Place for the Printer

❏Place your printer close enough to the computer or

workstation for the printer cable to reach both ends.

❏Use a grounded outlet that matches the printer’s power

plug. Do not use an adapter plug.

❏Leave adequate room around the printer to allow easy

operation and maintenance and sufficient ventilation. The

diagram below shows the recommended amount of space.

❏If you install the optional lower paper cassette, you will

need an additional 94 mm (3.7 inches) in height.

❏If you install both optional lower paper cassettes, you will

need an additional 195 mm (7.7 inches) in height.

453 mm (17.8")

from the bottom

100 mm (4") minimum each side

cCaution:

❏Place the printer where you can easily unplug the power

cord.

❏Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,

excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

❏Avoid using an electrical outlet that is controlled by wall

switches or automatic timers. Accidental disruption of

power can wipe out valuable information in your

computer’s and printer’s memory.

❏Avoid using outlets on the same circuit with large motors

or other appliances that might disturb the power supply.

❏Keep the entire computer and printer system away from

potential sources of interference, such as loudspeakers or

the base units of cordless telephones.

2Unpacking

Note:

The printer weighs about 15 kg (33.1 lbs) and should be lifted

with care.

2. Set the printer on a flat, stable surface.

3. Take the packaging material off the printer and the other

items and store it for future use.

3Installing the Imaging Cartridge

cCaution:

❏Do not turn the imaging cartridge upside down. Do not

expose the imaging cartridge to light any longer than

necessary.

❏Do not open the drum’s protective cover and avoid

exposing the imaging cartridge to room light any longer

than necessary. Overexposing the cartridge may cause

abnormally dark or light areas to appear on the printed

page and reduce the life of the imaging cartridge.

1. Pull the latch on the right toward you to open the printer

cover.

2. While holding the imaging cartridge horizontally, gently

shake it a few times to distribute the toner evenly.

3. Set the imaging cartridge on a clean, flat surface. Firmly grip

the tab on the left side of the imaging cartridge. Pull the

clear seal all the way out with firm, even pressure as shown.

4. Hold the imaging cartridge and gently shake the cartridge

from front to back.

5. Insert the pins on each side of the imaging cartridge into the

grooves inside the printer, and slide the cartridge gently

into place.

6. Gently press down on the printer cover until it clicks shut.

cCaution:

Never transport the printer with the imaging cartridge

installed.

4Loading Paper

1. Fan a stack of paper (up to 250 sheets); then tap it on a flat

surface to even up the edges.

2. Open the front cover.

3. Adjust the paper guides inside the MP (Multi Purpose) Tray

to match the size of the paper. Load the stack of paper into

the tray; make sure that the paper guides do not squeeze

the paper.

4. Close the front cover.
