Unpacking
Remove the printer and all accessories from the packing carton. Save
the carton and packing materials in case you need to repack the
printer.
Make sure you have the following items:
• Toner cartridge (Please, refer to page 4 and page 5)
• Power cord
• Setup CD-ROM
• Quick Install Guide
Notes:
• If you need help during setup, or if any items are missing or damaged,
notify your dealer immediately.
• You need a Centronics-compatible parallel printer cable. The cable is not
shipped with your printer. You can purchase this cable from your dealer or
retailer. Make sure the cable is IEEE 1284-compliant. Ask your dealer for
assistance if you need help selecting the right cable.
Selecting a Location
Place your printer on a flat, stable surface near your workstation.
Leave enough space around the printer, so that you can easily:
• open the printer cover
• load the paper
• retrieve the paper
• open the front output tray and retrieve the paper from the front
output tray
• allow air circulation around the vents to prevent the printer from
overheating
Do not place the printer:
• In direct sunlight
• Near heat sources or air conditioners
• In dusty or dirty environments

Setting Up Your Printer
Installing the Toner Cartridge
1. To open the printer cover, hold the cover using both hands and
pull it toward you.
2. Unpack the Toner Cartridge. Carefully remove the sealing tape.
3. Rock the Cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner.
4. Find the cartridge slots inside the printer, one on each side.
5. Grasp the handle and slide the Cartridge down between the toner
cartridge slots, until it drops into place.
6. Close the cover.
6Setting Up Your Printer
2. Before loading the paper, flex the sheets back and forth to loosen
them, then fan them. Tap the edges on a table top to straighten
them. Doing this before you load paper helps prevent paper jams.
Don’t load too much. This feeder holds up to 150 sheets.
3. Insert the paper in the paper feeder.
If the paper has a preferred print side, place the print side facing
you. If you use letterhead paper, load the paper with the letter-head
edge down and facing you.
Loading Paper
For best results, use high quality 75g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper.
Note: For more information on loading paper and other print material, refer
to ‘Loading Print Material’ on page 19.
1. Pull the extender on the automatic paper feeder up, until it stops.
