5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Preparing Print Unit
5.1.1 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:
5.1.2 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.
5.1.3 NOTE: Do not touch any connector
contacts and corona wires to avoid possible electrostatic damage to
the printer.
5.1.4 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:
5.1.5 For full details refer to the Operators manual.
5.2 Installing the Toner Bottle
5.2.1 Open the upper door. Lift the milled portions the front left and right of the upper door to open it.
5.2.2 Remove the protective materials
from the print unit. Remove protective sheet. Pull clear tape until its blue
end is visible and remove it. Remove two restraint cushions.
5.2.3 Remove the toner bottle from its bag.
5.2.4 Shake the toner bottle by moving it back and forth in a horizontal motion several times.
5.2.5 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.
5.2.6 Install toner bottle. Slide both projecting guides of the toner bottle into the grooves of the print unit.
5.2.7 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.
5.2.8 Lock the toner bottle. Push the toner
bottle forward until it clicks into place. (The bottle stands nearly
upright when installed correctly.)
5.2.9 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.
5.2.10 NOTE
For more information refer to the Operator's Manual Chapter 5.
5.3. Paper Path & Voltage Check

secures the rear stacker. Open the rear stacker and make sure the paper
guide is pushed down in the locked position. Close the rear stacker.
5.3.2 NOTE:
If the paper guide is not in the locked position, the printer will not work.
5.3.3 Check the manufacture's nameplate lists the voltage rating of 220 to 240 volts.
5.3.4 If connecting the printer to a parallel
port of a computer system then you may need to install the relevant
