							Installing a flash memory or firmware card
The system board has two connections for an optional flash memory or firmware card. Only one of each may be
installed, but the connectors are interchangeable.
CAUTION: If installing a flash memory or firmware card after setting up the printer, turn the printer off, and
unplug the power cord before continuing.
1Access the system board. For more information, see “Accessing the system board to install internal options” on
page 15.
2Unpack the memory card.
Note: Avoid touching the connection points along the edge of the card.
3Holding the card by its sides, align the plastic pins on the card with the holes on the system board. This ensures
the metal pins line up correctly as well.

							Installing an internal print server or port interface card
Note: A #2 Phillips screwdriver is needed to install an internal print server or port interface card.
Warning: System board electrical components are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch something metal on
the printer before touching any system board electronic components or connectors.
An internal print server allows connection from the printer to the local area network (LAN). An optional port interface
card expands the ways the printer can connect to a computer or external print server.
1Access the system board. For more information, see “Accessing the system board to install internal options” on
page 15.
2Unpack the internal print server or port interface card.
3Locate the two screws on the printer that attach the metal plate to the connector slot. Remove and save the two
screws.
4Remove the metal plate covering the connector slot and save the metal plate.
5Align the connector on the internal print server or port interface card with the connector on the system board.
The cable connectors on the side of the optional card must fit through the opening in the faceplate. Push the
internal print server or port interface card firmly into the card connector on the system board.

							Loading paper and specialty media
This section shows how to load the standard tray (250-sheet letter size tray), the multipurpose feeder, and the
optional 550-sheet tray which is part of the optional 550-sheet drawer. It also includes information about the standard
exit bin.
Loading the standard tray
The printer has two trays to select from: the standard tray (Tray 1), also known as the 250-sheet tray, and the optional
550-sheet tray (Tray 2). Load the paper or specialty media used for the majority of print jobs in Tray 1. Proper paper
loading prevents jams and facilitates trouble-free printing.
Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Busy blinks on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
1Grasp the handle and pull the tray out. Remove the tray completely.
2Squeeze the width guide tabs together as shown, and move the width guide to the side of the tray.
3Squeeze the length guide tabs together as shown, and slide the length guide to the correct position for the size
of paper being loaded. Notice the size indicators in the window in the bottom of the tray. Use these indicators
to help position the guide. Notice the load lines on the width guide tab: they indicate the maximum height for
loading paper.

shown.
When loading preprinted letterhead, place the header toward the front of the tray.

							7Align the tray, and insert it.
8If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously loaded in the tray, change the Paper Type setting
for the tray from the control panel. For more information, see “Setting the Paper Size and Paper Type” on
page 35.
Loading the optional 550-sheet tray
The optional 550-sheet drawer consists of a 550-sheet tray and a support unit. This tray is loaded in the same way
that the standard tray is loaded. The only differences between the trays are the look of the guide tabs and the location
of the paper size indicators, as shown in the following illustration. When the 550-sheet tray is loaded for the first time
or when a new size is loaded, remove the tray completely from the support unit.
