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 page 28 for more
information.
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface so that there is no incline
greater than 5 mm (0.02 inch). Otherwise, printing quality may be
affected.
2. Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3. Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.
4. Install both the print cartridge and imaging unit.
5. Load paper. (See "Loading paper" on page 36.)
6. Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine.
7. Turn the machine on.
SETTING UP THE NETWORK
You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your
network printer. You can set up the basic network settings with the
machine's touch screen.
Supported operating systems
The following table shows the network environments supported by the
machine:
• When you move the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down.
Otherwise, the inside of the machine may be contaminated by
toner, which can cause damage to the machine or bad printing
quality.
• If you are moving the machine or if machine is not in use for a long
time, turn on the power and wait until it goes in to the ready mode.
Then close the scan lid and turn the power off. And open the scan
lid and lock the scanner lock.
If you want to use the USB cable, connect the cable between a
computer and you machine. Then, refer to Software section.
