2000-Sheet Drawer User’s Guide 1
Introduction
The 2000-sheet drawer gives your printer added capacity by
allowing you to load up to four reams (approximately 2,000 sheets)
of 20 lb paper.
Your drawer is pre-configured to either letter or A4 paper size. To
use a different paper size, see page 12.
Your printer has an autoconnect feature that recognizes when the
2000-sheet drawer has been installed. After starting your printer,
this option is shown as Tray 2,Tray 3,Tray 4 or Tray 5,depending
upon the number of installed paper sources.
To ensure reliable paper feeding, it is important that you select
paper recommended for use with the 2000-sheet drawer and that
you load it properly. See page 15 for information on paper
specifications and page 16 for loading instructions.
To ensure compatibility with your printer, verify your drawer is
labeled with a colored triangle located on the top left front corner.
Refer to your printer documentation for information pertaining to
electronic emissions, safety, and warranty.

Note: Save the carton and packing material in case you
need to repack the 2000-sheet drawer for service or
storage.

Attaching Stabilizer Feet
CAUTION: If you are not using an optional printer stand,
the four stabilizer feet
must
be attached to the
drawer.

stand, you must remove the stabilizer feet and re-
attach the rubber feet.

Installing the 2000-Sheet Drawer
Decide on an installation location for the 2000-sheet drawer. The
printer, and possibly other options, will be placed on top of the
drawer, so allow a maximum of 137.16 cm (4 ½ ft) for clearance.
Note: Your drawer is pre-configured to either letter or A4 paper
size. To use a different paper size, see page 12
before
placing any options or the printer on the 2000-sheet drawer.
1Turn the printer power off and unplug the power cord.
2Disconnect any other cables attached to the printer.
3Place any options you may have on top of the drawer one at
a time. Refer to your printer documentation for proper
installation instructions.
4Ask someone to help you lift the printer and position it
above the drawer and any options you may have installed in
step 3.
CAUTION: Make sure your fingers are not under the
printer when you set it down. Use the
handholds on the printer or ask someone to
help you lift it.

5Place the printer on top of the drawer and any options
installed. The openings on top of the drawer will help you
set the printer so the edges are aligned properly. Make sure
the printer is securely in place.

6Plug the jumper cord into the printer. Plug the other end of
the jumper cord into the drawer.
7Reconnect any disconnected cables.

2000-Sheet Drawer User’s Guide 9
8If you intend to operate your 2000-sheet drawer at 100 -
127V power, you
must
use the 16 AWG power cord
provided with the unit. Plug the 16 AWG power cord into the
back of the drawer and then into a properly grounded
electrical outlet. Do
not
use the power cord provided with
the printer; however, you may retain it for possible future
use. For example, if you later decide to detach the current
printer from the 2000-sheet drawer, and use the printer with
other paper options, you should use the original power cord
provided with the printer. The 16 AWg power cord should
always
remain with the 2000-sheet drawer.
If you intend to operate your 2000-sheet drawer at 200 -
240V power, use the power cord provided with the printer.
Plug the power cord into the back of the drawer and then
into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

2Push the elevator down button located on the left side of the
door opening. See illustration on page 17.
