Installing the Optional Tray Module

CAUTION: If you are adding an optional 250-sheet tray module or 500-sheet tray module after setting up the printer, be sure to turn off the printer, unplug the power cable, and disconnect all cables from the back of the printer before completing these tasks.

• Optional tray modules attach under the standard 250-sheet tray module and only one additional tray can be added.
  
  

Some instructions may vary depending on the tray module configuration in your printer.

NOTE: Some tray module configurations differ from those described in this manual.

1. Unpack the tray and remove all packing material and tape.
   
   
   
   
2. Place the tray module in the location that you would like the printer to be located.
   
   

NOTE: You will place the printer on the tray in a later step.

3. Turn off the printer.
