base copier to obtain the system configuration
desired by the customer. This installation proce-
dure has been tailored to this illustration. The in-
stallation of components should start from the
lower numbered components and progress to
higher numbered components.
NOTE: When not instaIling the duplex unit or the
sorter save the duplex unit or sorter key
