Installing the optional paper cassette unit

Follow the steps below to install the optional paper cassette unit.

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord and interface cable.

Take the optional paper cassette unit out of the cardboard box, then remove the protective materials in the cassette.

Place the optional paper cassette unit where you intend to set up the printer. Then, put the printer onto the optional paper cassette unit. Align each of the printer's corners with those of the unit, then lower the printer until it rests securely on the unit.

Warning:

Two people should lift the printer by the correct positions.

Note:

The printer and optional paper cassette unit are heavy so it is necessary to carry them separately when you transfer them.

Push up the fixing tabs inside the optional paper cassette unit, then turn them in a clockwise direction to fix the unit and the printer together.

Reinsert the paper cassette into the optional paper cassette unit.

To confirm that the option is installed correctly, print a Status Sheet. See Printing a Status Sheet.

Note for Windows users:

If EPSON Status Monitor 3 is not installed, you have to make settings manually in the printer driver. See Making Optional Settings.

Note for Macintosh users:

When you have attached or removed printer options, you need to delete the printer using Print Setup Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3), Print Center (for Mac OS X 10.2 or below), or Chooser (for Mac OS 9), and then re-register the printer.
