Handling precautions

Always pay attention to the following handling precautions before installing the cassette unit.

The printer weighs about 20.9 kg (46.1 lb). One person should never attempt to lift or carry it alone. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it from the positions shown below.

Warning:

If you lift the printer incorrectly, you could drop it and cause injury.

Note:

The rear side of the printer is extremely heavy. Take care when you lift the printer.

Follow these steps to install the optional 550-Sheet Paper Cassette Unit A4.

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

Caution:

Make sure to unplug the power cord from the printer to prevent getting an electrical shock.

Place the printer onto the 550-Sheet Universal 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.

Note:

The printer should be carried by at least two people, holding the printer with their hands in the indicated positions.

When you install two optional paper cassette units, put one unit upon the other unit in order, then put the printer on top of them.

Pull out the MP tray and lower paper cassette from the printer, and then pull out the optional lower paper cassette from the unit. Then, secure the printer to the unit with the four fittings that are provided. Install two of the four fittings on both sides of the inside of the printer.

Remove the protective materials from the cassette and load the paper.

Reconnect the interface cable and power cord, then turn the printer on.

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

Note:

If you are using Windows, and EPSON Status Monitor 3 is not installed, you have to make settings manually in the printer driver. Click the Update the Printer Option Information Manually button on the Optional Settings menu, then click Settings. Then select Lower Cassette 2 or Lower Cassette 3 from the Optional Paper Sources list on the Optional Settings dialog box and click OK.
