3 Positioning the Printer
Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements:
Clearance
Environment
Places to Avoid
Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to:
• Direct drafts of hot or cold air
• Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near building entrances.)
• Sudden temperature or humidity changes
• Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators
• Excessive dust
•Vibration
• Unstable surfaces and surfaces that are not level
• Ammonia or other harmful fumes (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or make liberal
use of insecticide, remove the printer first!)
• Excessive sunlight or humidity
• Lack of ventilation
• Low air pressure, e.g. elevations greater than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level
Rear: 10 cm (3 - 15/16")
Left: 60 cm
(23 - 5/8")
Front: 100 cm (39 - 3/8")
Right: 70 cm
(27 - 9/16")
Be sure to secure enough
space around the printer.
Prolonged use without suffi-
cient clearance may cause
heat to build up within the
printer, resulting in fire.
Temperature 10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), ideally about 23 °C (73.4 °F)
Humidity 20 to 80 %, ideally 60 %
Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the recommended
range. Print quality may suffer and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.

4 Installing the Toner Container
Before you can use the printer for the first time, you must prepare it by installing the toner con-
tainer, waste toner box, and set up the interfacing with the computer.
1Open the printer front cover all the way.
2Take out the toner container.
3Tap the toner container on the top 5 to 6
times.
4Thoroughly shake the toner container (in
the directions of the arrows) ten times or
more to loosen and mix the toner inside.

5 Installing the Waste Toner Box
The waste toner box is supplied with the printer.
1Install the waste toner box as shown in the
figure.
2Close the front cover.
6 Connecting the Printer to the Computer
There are various ways of connecting the printer to the computer, such as through the parallel
interface connector, serial interface connector, or through the network interface connector.
Printer Connections
A standard Centronics parallel interface ( ), serial (RS-232C) interface (IOIOI), and a 10/100
base-T connector are located on the right side of the printer.
Before performing this step, be sure to turn off both the printer and the computer’s
power switches and unplug the printer’s power plug from the power outlet. Failure
to do so may result in electrical shock.


Parallel Interface Connection
1Plug one end of the printer cable (not
included) into the parallel interface connec-
tion on the rear side of the printer.
2Close the clips on both sides to fix the con-
nector in place.
Plug the other end of the printer cable into
the computer’s parallel interface connec-
tor.
Serial Interface Connection
1Plug one end of the printer cable (not
included) into the serial interface connec-
tion on the rear side of the printer.
2Securely tighten the screws on both sides
of the connector.
Plug the other end of the printer cable into
the computer’s serial interface connection.
Network Interface Connection
Plug the network cable (not included) into the
network interface connection on the right side
of the printer.
• Use a parallel printer cable that
complies with the IEEE1284
standards.
• The printer will work best if it is
installed near the computer. The
cable should be shielded and
not be longer than 3 meters (10
feet). Parallel Printer Cable
Serial Printer Cable
An Ethernet interface cable (straight
cable) is required to connect the
printer in network environment.

7 Connecting the Power Cord
This section describes the procedure for connecting the power cord and various cautions.
Notes on Power Supply
• Install the printer near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone.
• Only use this printer with the supply voltage indicated on the serial number label attached to
the printer’s side panel.
• If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5
meters (17 feet) or less.
Power Requirements
To Connect the Power Cord
1For 220 to 240 V models:
Plug the power cord into the power cord
connector on the rear of the printer.
For 120 V model:
This step is not necessary for 120 V model.
2Connect the other end of the power cord
into a power outlet.
Voltage 120 V (U.S.A. and Canada), 220 to 240 V (European countries, and the Asia Pacific region),
±10 % at each voltage
Frequency 60 Hz (120 V) ±2 %, 50/60 Hz (220 to 240 V) ±2 %
Current capacity Max. 10.8 A at 120 V, or max. 5.6 A at 220 to 240 V (FS-9100DN)
Current capacity Max. 10.9 A at 120 V, or max. 5.7 A at 220 to 240 V (FS-9500DN)
• Be sure the printer’s power switch is turned off.
• Only use the power cord supplied with the printer.

8 Adding Paper to the Paper Cassette and MP
(Multi-Purpose) Tray
The paper cassette can accommodate A5 to A3/Ledger size paper and can hold approximately
500 sheets. The MP tray can accommodate the various paper sizes and can hold approximately
200 sheets of paper.
The paper cassette can be used to supply standard paper from A5 size up to ledger size by
adjusting its paper guide and paper stopper position. The paper cassette is shipped from factory
set to A4 or letter.
The positions for each paper size are indicated inside the paper feed cassette.
Standard paper sizes are attached to the inside of the paper cassette as shown in the following
figure.
The depending the paper source, the following paper weights can be used.
The paper cassettes are normally used in landscape direction for A4, B5, and letter
sizes. They can also be used in portrait direction for these sizes by adjusting them to
A4R, B5R, and 8.5 ×11R position.
