Moving the printer

The printer is heavy and should be lifted by two people. To lift the printer, grip the handles on the sides of the printer. If the bottom of the printer is attached to an optional accessory (such as a 500-sheet tray and feeder, 1,500-sheet tray and feeder, or storage cabinet), the accessory latches must be unlocked before moving the printer.

WARNING! To prevent possible injury or damage to the printer, separate the printer from any currently installed optional accessories (for example, an optional tray and feeder or a stapler/stacker) before lifting the printer.

Locking and unlocking optional accessories

For more stability against tipping over, the optional tray and feeder units and the cabinet can be locked to the bottom of the printer.

To lock the accessories, locate the lever on the upper left side of the optional tray and feeder and rotate the lever to the rear (locked) position.

To unlock the accessories, rotate the lever to the forward (unlocked) position.
