5. INSTALLATION

5.1 This printer is shipped with the print unit mounted and protective materials attached. Be sure to remove the two protective materials from the print unit. This operation is possible with the print unit mounted. First prepare and install the following two components:

5.2 The toner bottle first installed after you purchase the printer or a new print unit will last about 2500 printed pages under the condition of 5% coverage on A4 paper. The succeeding toner bottles last about 5000 printed pages each.

NOTE

5.3 Do not touch any connector contacts and corona wires to avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer.

5.4 Be careful with the print unit's drum (the green surface). The drum is easily damaged by contamination or by exposure to light for more than three minutes. Follow these guidelines:

5.5 For full details refer to the Operators manual.

5.6 To prepare the print unit and install the toner bottle, follow these steps:

5.6.1 Open the upper door. Lift the milled portions the front left and right of the upper door to open it.

5.6.4 Shake the toner bottle by moving it back and forth in a horizontal motion several times.

5.6.5 Remove the plastic seal form the toner bottle. Gently pull off the seal being careful not to spill toner. Handle to seal carefully to avoid staining your hands or clothes.

5.6.6 Install toner bottle. Slide both projecting guides of the toner bottle into the grooves of the print unit.

5.6.7 NOTE

If you have installed the toner bottle, do not remove it from the print unit until it is empty. This could causes toner to spill into printer.

5.6.8 Lock the toner bottle. Push the toner bottle forward until it clicks into place. (The bottle stands nearly upright when installed correctly.)

5.6.9 Close the printer's upper door. Press down firmly on the front portion of the upper door and make sure the upper door is locked completely.

8. INTERIOR ACCESS

8.1 Switch off all power and remove the power cord and all data lines.

8.2 Most of the covers are held by machine screws and/or plastic sprung clips. These can easily be broken if not handled gently and correctly. Trying to force the panels off will only result in damage to the fittings, and then the panels will not seat correctly. NOTE!!! The cover and panel screws are NOT ALL THE SAME, and must be replaced in the correct positions.

8.3 To remove the Paper Tray pull it out.

8.4 To access the interior.


8.4.1 Open the upper door, remove the complete Print Unit by raising the two green handles and lifting the Print Unit out. Store in a safe dark place.


8.4.2 To remove the RHS Panel. Release the visible spring clip at the front by pushing it down; half way back ease the panel out from under the top cover( (hidden bracket), and then release the rear visible spring clip at the rear by pushing it down.


8.4.3 To remove the LHS Panel. Release the hidden spring clip half way back by gently easing the clip down; then release the almost hidden spring clip at the rear by gently pushing the clip inwards.


8.4.4 To remove the complete Top Cover with the Control Panel, release the spring clips at the LHS; they are square shaped and located halfway back and to the rear; then raise the Top Cover, GENTLY! The Control Panel is connected by two short ribbon cables which must be disconnected first. They are easily removed but are rather fiddley to replace.
