Introduction
This chapter covers setting up your new Accel-a-Writer 8200 printer.
It includes finding the right location, unpacking the printer, installing
toner and paper, connecting the power cord, printing a start-up page,
and connecting to an interface.
Printer Location
Before unpacking your Accel-a-Writer 8200, you need to choose a
good location. This area should meet the following guidelines:
• Be on a level, sturdy surface capable of supporting 60 lbs
(27.24 kg)
• Have an area of approximately 25" x 49" (644 mm x
1250 mm) so there is sufficient clearance for operation
and maintenance
• Maintain a temperature of 50˚ to 90.5˚ Fahrenheit (10˚ to
32.5˚ Celsius) without rapid changes
• Maintain a relative humidity between 20% and 80%
• Be away from direct sunlight, open flames, refrigerators,
water faucets, humidifiers, heaters, or similar equipment
• Be away from strong vibrations or electromagnetic fields
• Maintain proper host-printer distance for communication:
within 10 feet (3 m) for parallel; within 25 feet (7.5 m) for
serial; within 1000 feet (305 m) for LocalTalk
• Be close to a grounded electrical outlet with the proper
voltage
Note: Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the
printer; they react chemically with the toner. Also, like most
laser printers and photocopiers, this one produces a small
amount of ozone, so choose a well ventilated area.

Unpacking the Printer
Various packing materials protect your printer during shipping. These
materials include plastic, tape, polystyrene, cardboard, and shipping
spacers—all of which must be removed. You may want to save these
materials in case you ever have to move or ship the printer.
1. Remove everything except the printer in its protective bag
from the shipping box.
Warning! The printer weighs approximately 51 lbs (23 kg)
without the toner, cassettes, and media installed. Have
someone help you lift it.
2. Lift the printer out of the box.
3. Remove the plastic wrap from around the printer.

If you did not purchase the optional paper feeder or the 500 sheet

“Installing the Toner Cartridge.”
Installing Options
If you have an optional paper feeder or the 500 sheet letter/A4 paper
cassette with the cassette supporter, unpack the option(s) now.
Follow the installation instructions included with the option(s). See
“Tray Chaining” in chapter 6 for details on using optional trays.
2-10 Installationbb_________________________________________
Installing the Toner Cartridge
Caution: The toner cartridge is sensitive to bright lights and direct
sunlight. Leave it in its protective bag until you are ready to
load it into the printer. The cartridge contains a magnet, so
keep it away from your hard disk(s) and monitor to prevent
possible data loss or equipment damage.
The standard Accel-a-Writer 8200 ships with an EP-BII toner
cartridge. If you purchased the extra wide print option with your
printer, it ships with the EP-BIIX extra wide cartridge. Both
cartridges load in the same manner.
Use the following procedure to install the toner cartridge.
1. If the fold down tray is closed, open it by grasping the top
corners and pulling out and down (fig. 2.3).
2. If the front cover is closed, open it by lifting the release latch
and tilting the cover towards you (fig. 2.5).
3. Remove the toner cartridge from its package and gently rock it
back and forth to distribute the toner evenly throughout the
cartridge (fig. 2.7).
