Install the stacker
1.Connect the cables between the stacker and the printer.
2.Switch on the stacker.
3.Select the 
 icon on the printers front panel, then Accessories > Stacker > Install stacker. The
front panel will prompt you to attach the stacker to the printer.
4.There are two latches on the stacker that engage with the printer deflectors. To attach the stacker
to the printer, attach first one side and then the other (because less force is required that way).
Some warm-up time is necessary,...

The stacker contains a heated roller to remove the curl from the paper. To change the temperature of
the roller, select the 
 icon on the printers front panel, then Accessories > Stacker > Select
temperature level. There are three options:
●Normal is the default and recommended setting.
●High sets the roller to a higher temperature, which may be useful for particularly stiff paper.
●Low sets the roller to a lower temperature, which may be useful for paper with a particularly
sensitive coating.

Move or store the stacker
Before moving or storing the stacker, take a couple of steps to reduce the amount of space it occupies.
1.Undo the screws at either side of the stacker tray, and let the tray hang vertically.
2.Remove the pin from each leg extension, and rotate the leg extension upwards.
