[6] UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION 1. Installing procedure flowchart There are many combinations between this machine and option units. For installing option units, observe the following procedures for efficiency. To install the devices effciently, follow the procedure below. Some peripheral devices may have been installed as standard devices depending on the main unit model.
Page 30: Note For Installation Place
2. Note for installation place 3. Unpacking procedure Improper installation may damage this product. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved. 1) The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection. 2) Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Page 31: Machine Installing Procedure
4. Machine installing procedure 3) Remove the top cover of the developer cartridge. Note: In advance to installation of the machine, the paper feed option units (AR-D27/AR-D28/AR-MU2) should have been installed. A. Remove the locking tape 4) While rotating the MG roller, supply developer into the devel- oper cartridge evenly.
Page 32: D. Setting Related To Fusing
2) Insert a new toner cartridge. E. Paper setting Push the cartridge in until it locks securely into place. 1) Pull out the first stage paper feed tray. Slowly pull out the tray until it stops. 3) Gently remove the sealing tape from the cartridge. 2) While pressing the paper holding plate, remove the fixing pin.
