Installation Site
Installation Environment
In order to operate the printer smoothly and safely, install the printer where
"Temperature/Humidity Conditions", "Power Conditions", and "Installing
Conditions" described in "Installation Environment" are fulfilled.
IMPORTANT
Before installing the printer, be sure to read "Important Safety Instructions"
in the User's Guide .
● Use power supplies rated for voltages in the following ranges.
100 - 127 V (±10%) 50/60 Hz (± 2 Hz)
220 - 240 V (±10%) 50/60 Hz (± 2 Hz)
● The maximum power consumption for the printer is 1102 W* or below for 220
- 240 V model (1043 W* for 100 - 127 V model)
Electrical noise or a dramatic drop in power voltage may not only result in
faulty operation or loss of data in the printer, but also in the computer as well.
*Note: 1139 W (220 - 240 V model) / 1067 W (100 - 127 V model) or below when installed
with full options. However, the momentum peak upon turning the power ON is
excluded from the value.
● Use the printer where the temperature and humidity are in the following
ranges.
Ambient temperature: 10-30 °C (50 - 86 °F)
Ambient humidity: 10-80 % RH (no condensation)
IMPORTANT
Condensation may occur in the printer in the following situations. Leave
the printer in a new environment for over two hours before it is used so that
the printer can get accustomed to the ambient temperature and humidity. If
condensation occurs in the printer, it may result in misfeeds which will
result in paper jams and printer malfunctions.
- When the room where the printer is installed is heated suddenly
- When the printer is moved from a cool and dry area to a hot and humid
area

Loading Paper
This printer feeds paper only from the multi-purpose tray by factory
default. When the optional 250-sheet paper feeder is installed, paper can
be fed from two paper sources.
This section describes only the procedure for loading plain paper in the
multi-purpose tray. When loading paper other than plain paper or using
the optional 250-sheet paper feeder, refer to the following sections.
●When loading transparencies or envelopes in the multi-purpose tray,
See Chapter 2 "Load and Output of the Paper" in the User's Guide.
●When installing the optional 250-sheet paper feeder, See "Installing the 250-
sheet Paper Feeder," on p. 31.
●When loading paper in the cassette of the optional 250-sheet paper feeder,
See "Loading Paper in the Paper Cassette," on p. 35.
Loading Paper in the Multi-purpose Tray
Up to approximately 125 sheets of paper (64 g/m2) with a width of 76.2 to
215.9 mm and length of 127.0 to 355.6 mm can be loaded in the multi-purpose
tray. Paper that cannot be loaded in the paper cassette such as transparencies
and envelopes can be loaded in the multi-purpose tray.
1 Open the multi-purpose tray.
Hold the grip at the center of the front surface of the printer.
2 Pull out the auxiliary tray.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to pull out the auxiliary tray when loading paper in the
multi-purpose tray.
Step4

18
3 Open the extension tray to load long-size paper such as A4.
NOTE
When closing the tray, remove the loaded paper, then close the tray by
reversing the opening procedure. Keep the multi-purpose tray closed when
it is not used.
4 Spread the paper guides a little wider than the actual paper
width.
5 Gently load the stack of paper with the print side facing up
until it touches the back of the tray.
Be sure that the paper stack is loaded under the paper limit guides.
CAUTION
When loading paper, be careful not to cut your hands with the edges
of the paper.
IMPORTANT
•The maximum amount of paper that can be loaded into the multi-purpose
tray may vary depending on the paper type. For more details, See Chapter
2 "Load and Output of the Paper" in the User's Guide.
a
b
Paper limit guide

19
English
•Confirm that there is sufficient space between the paper limit guides and
the paper stack. Take out some paper when there is no space.
•Load the paper stack straight.
•If the rear edge of the paper stack is not properly aligned, it may result in
misfeeds or paper jams.
•If the paper is curled or folded at corners, flatten it before loading.
•Double-feeding may occur frequently if the edges of the paper stack are
not aligned properly. In this case, align the edges of the stack on a hard,
flat surface.
NOTE
To print on letterhead paper or paper printed with a logo, load the paper so
that the print side is facing up and the top of the paper goes into the far
end.
6 Slide the paper guides so that they fit to both sides of the
paper stack.
IMPORTANT
•Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the paper. If the guides
are too loose or too tight, it may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
•Do not touch the paper in the multi-purpose tray or pull it out while printing.
It may result in a faulty operation.

Selecting an Output Tray
This printer has two output trays: "output tray" and "sub output tray".
■Output Tray
Prints are output to this tray with the print side facing down.
NOTE
Up to approximately 125 sheets of plain paper (64 g/m2) can be loaded in
the output tray.
■Sub Output Tray
Prints are output to this tray with the print side facing up. The sub output
tray is suitable for printing on transparencies or envelopes which tend to
curl, as the tray outputs the printed material flat.
IMPORTANT
Remove paper from the sub output tray one by one each time it is fed.
Switching to the Sub Output Tray
Open the sub output tray to switch to it.
CAUTION
The fuser unit and its surroundings inside the sub output tray may
become hot during use. Do not touch the fuser unit and its
surroundings, as it may result in burns or electrical shock.
