Unpacking and Installing the Printer

This section describes how to unpack and install the printer.

Note

  • Use extra care when handling the image drum (the green cylinder), because it is fragile.

  • Do not expose the image drum to direct sunlight or strong light (approximately 1,500 lux or more). Even under room lighting, when leaving the image drum for 5 minutes or more, put sheets of paper over it to shield it from the light. Even with sheets of paper put over the image drum, do not leave it for 1 hour or more.

  • If the toner cartridge is not secured correctly, printing quality may decline.

  • If [TONER LOW] remains displayed on the operator panel even after installing a toner cartridge, set the cartridge again.

  • First, use the starter toner cartridge that comes with the printer, and after the status becomes [TONER LOW], use a toner cartridge purchased separately.

    If you use a separately-purchased toner cartridge first, you cannot use the starter toner cartridge anymore.

For details on how to feed paper to the printer, refer to "Loading Paper".
