sunlight or sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the 
machine close to the edge of your desk or table. 
Clearance space
•Front: 482.6 mm (enough space so that the paper tray can 
be removed)
•
Back: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation)
•
Right: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation)
•
Left: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation)
Installing the toner cartridge
1Open the front cover.
2Remove the toner cartridge from its bag. Do not use a 
knife or other sharp object as it might scratch the drum of 
the toner cartridge.
3Roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner 
evenly inside the toner cartridge.
Thoroughly rolling the toner cartridge will assure 
maximum copies per toner cartridge.
4Remove the paper protecting the toner cartridge.
NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry 
cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into 
fabric.
