NOTE: If you have optional memory to install, leave clearance on the right side of the printer. 3 Align the holes in the printer with the positioning posts on the 550-sheet drawer and lower the printer into place. Specifying the media type and size loaded into each tray will help prevent jams. See "Configuring the Paper Trays" on page 15 for more information. 14 Pre p a ri n g the Pr i n t er Configuring the Paper Trays NOTE: You must first install the drivers for your printer before configuring the paper trays. See "Setting Up for Local Printing" on page 29 or "Setting Up for Network Printing" on page 37.

Installing an Optional Memory Card The system board has one connector for an optional memory card. The printer can support up to 128MB (for a total of 160MB for a network printer and 144MB for a non-network printer). CAUTION: If you are installing a memory card after setting up the printer, turn the printer off and unplug the power cord before continuing. 1 Open the front cover by pressing the button on the left side of the printer and lowering the cover.

NOTICE: Memory cards are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch something metal, such as the printer frame, before you touch a memory card. Avoid touching the connection points along the edge of the card. 6 Align the notches on the bottom of the card with the notches on the connector. 7 Push the memory card firmly into the connector until the latches on either end of the connector snap into place. It may require some force to fully seat the card. 8 9 10 11 Make sure each latch fits over the notch on each end of the card. Close the side cover. Close the rear exit. Close the front cover.

Straighten the edges on a level surface. 3 Load the paper in the tray with the print side facing down. Make sure the paper is below the max fill line on the side guides. Overloading may cause jams. 22 Lo a d i n g Pa p e r 4 Slide the two side guides and the back guide until they fit snugly against the stack of paper. If you are loading legal or folio size paper, press down on the latch at the back of the tray and expand the tray until the extender locks into place. L o a d i n g Pa p e r 23 w w w. d e l l . c o m / s u p p l i e s | s u p p o r t . d e l l . c o m 5 Insert the tray. 6 Extend the paper support on the output bin. 24 Lo a d i n g Pa p e r Loading the Manual Feeder The manual feeder is located at the front of your printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. You can use the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray. To load the manual feeder: 1 Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side facing up, at the center of the manual feeder, but only to the point where its leading edge can contact the paper guides. Otherwise, the printer will engage the print media too soon and skew the print job. Adjust the paper guides to the print media's width. 2 3 Hold both sides of the print media close to the manual feeder and push it into the printer until it automatically engages. There is a brief pause between the time the printer engages the print media and when it feeds into the printer. NOTICE: Do not force the print media into the feeder. Forcing the media causes jams. · · Insert envelopes with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top right side. Hold transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can affect print quality. L o a d i n g Pa p e r 25 w w w. d e l l . c o m / s u p p l i e s | s u p p o r t . d e l l . c o m · · Load letterhead face-up, with the top of the sheet entering the printer first. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Using the Rear Exit The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through paper path to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, envelopes, labels, card stock, or index cards. To use the rear exit, simply open the rear exit door. When the rear exit door is open, all print media comes out the rear exit. When closed, all media is sent to the output bin on top of the printer. 26 Lo a d i n g Pa p e r Print Media Guidelines Selecting the right paper or other media reduces printing problems. For best print quality, try a sample of the paper or specialty media you are considering before buying large quantities. CAUTION: Your product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and heat can cause certain media to release emissions. You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for selecting appropriate print media to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions. · · · Use 20 lb (75 g/m2) xerographic paper. Use transparencies designed for laser printers. Use envelopes made from 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond paper. To reduce paper jams, do not use envelopes that: ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ Have excessive curl Are stuck together Are damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars Have postage stamps attached Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position · · · Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive on the sheets. Do not print a large number of labels continuously. Use card stock with a maximum weight of 163 g/m2 and a minimum size of 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.).
