SETTING UP THE HARDWARE
This section shows the steps to set up the hardware which is explained in
the
Quick Install Guide
. Make sure you read
Quick Install Guide
and
complete following steps.
1.
Select a stable location.
Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow
extra space to open covers and trays.
The area should be well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight or
sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to the
edge of your desk or table.
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the
altitude setting to optimize your printing. See "Altitude adjustment" on
page 25 for more information.
Place the machine on a flat and stable surface, not letting it lean more
than 2 mm (0.08 inches). Otherwise, it may affect the printing quality.
2.
Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3.
Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.
4.
Install all four of the toner cartridges.
5.
Load paper. (See "Loading paper" on page 30.)
6.
Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine.
