Installing the 4-Bin Mailbox

Follow these steps to install the optional 4-Bin Mailbox:

Note:

After removing the two securing parts, keep them in a safe place.

Close the front cover by pressing it firmly until it clicks into place.

Install the base unit of the 4-Bin Mailbox.
Make sure to align the metal pins located at both sides of the unit to the matching holes on the printer. Then pull the unit to the front so that it securely sits on top of the printer.

Secure the base unit with two screws at the back of the printer by using the wrench that comes with the unit, as shown below.

Note:

Keep the wrench in a safe place after use.

Install the main unit of the 4-Bin Mailbox onto the base unit.

Note:

Attach the bottom tray first. Then proceed to attach the one above it, until you reach the top tray.

Reconnect all interface cables and the power cord.

Plug the printer's power cord into an electrical outlet.

Turn on the printer.

To confirm that the 4-Bin Mailbox is installed correctly, use the printer's control panel menus to print a status sheet. See Printing a Status Sheet for instructions. If the 4-Bin Mailbox is not listed on the status sheet, try reinstalling the device. Make sure that the connector on the 4-Bin Mailbox is securely connected to the connector on the printer.

Click the Update the Printer Option Info Manually button on the Optional Settings menu, and then click Settings. Then select 4-Bin Mailbox in the Optional Output Trays list in the Optional Settings dialog box and click OK.

After completing the installation procedure, you need to make the setting for the output tray in the printer driver in order to use the 4-Bin Mailbox. See Using the 4-Bin Mailbox for instructions.

Caution:

Make sure to move the main unit of the 4-Bin Mailbox toward the rear of the printer before opening the front cover.
