• System requirements
• Setting up the network• Installing the software
• Machines basic settings
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 Altitude adjustment on 
page 26 for more information.
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface so that there is no incline 
greater than 2 mm (0.08 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 the toner cartridge.
5.Load paper. (See Loading paper on page 34.)
6.Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine. 
7.Turn the machine on. 
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 print quality.
This equipment will be inoperable when mains power fails.

loading originals and print media
This chapter introduces you how to load originals and print media into your machine.
This chapter includes:
• Loading originals
• Selecting print media
• Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray
• Loading paper• Printing on special print materials
• Adjusting the output support
• Setting the paper size and type
LOADING ORIGINALS
You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying, 
scanning, and sending a fax.
On the scanner glass
Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the 
ADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass. To 
get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images, use 
the scanner glass.
1.Lift and open the scanner lid.
2.Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with the 
registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.3.Close the scanner lid.
In the ADF
Using the ADF, you can load up to 50 sheets of paper (75 g/m2, 20 lb bond) 
for one job. 
When you use the ADF:
• Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm (5.6 x 5.8 inches) or 
larger than 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper:
- carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
- coated paper
- onion skin or thin paper
- wrinkled or creased paper
- curled or rolled paper
- torn paper
• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.
• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely 
dry before loading.
• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.
• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents having 
other unusual characteristics.
1.Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before 
loading originals.
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality 
and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout. 
Always keep it clean.
• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the scanner 
lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the lid. 
If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, start copying with 
the lid open.
