Revision 1.3 January 2003 1 STEP Unpacking Carefully remove the printer and other items from the box. Check that nothing is missing against the list of shipped components below. List of Shipped Components For the FS-1800N/FS-3800N, the CD-ROM for the network interface card and the manual for the network interface card are shipped together with the components listed below. (A) (B) (C) (D) Printer (E) Printer CD-ROM (B) Waste Toner Bottle (D) Installation Manual [this booklet] (B) Toner Container (C) Plastic Bag for Developer Unit (A) Power Cord (E) Go to next page 1 2 STEP Positioning the Printer Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements: Clearance 30 cm (11-13/16 inches) 20 cm (7-7/8 inches) [40 cm (15-3/4 inches) when the option face-up output tray is installed] 30 cm (11-13/16 inches) 60 cm (23-5/8 inches) 25 cm (9-7/8 inches) Be sure to secure enough space around the printer. Prolonged use without sufficient clearance may cause heat to build up within the printer, resulting in fire. Environment Temperature Humidity 10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), ideally about 23 °C (73.4 °F) 20 to 80 %, ideally 60 % Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the recommended range. Print quality may suffer and there will be an increased chance of paper jams. Places to Avoid Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to: · · · · · · · · Direct drafts of hot or cold air Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near building entrances.) Sudden temperature or humidity changes Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators Excessive dust Vibration Unstable surfaces and surfaces that are not level Ammonia or other harmful fumes (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or make liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!) · Excessive sunlight or humidity · Lack of ventilation · Low air pressure, e.g., elevations greater than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level 2 3 STEP Installing the Toner Container Before you can use the printer for the first time, you must prepare it by installing the toner container, waste toner bottle, and set up the interfacing with the computer. Top Cover 1 Open the printer top cover all the way. 2 Take the toner container from the bag. Toner Container 10 times or more 3 With the label side down, thoroughly shake the toner container (in the direction of the arrow) ten times or more to loosen and mix the toner inside. 4 Carefully remove the protective seal.

Lock Lever 6 5 STEP Connecting the Printer to the Computer There are various ways of connecting the printer to the computer, such as through the parallel interface connector, serial interface connector, or through the option network interface card. The FS-1800N/FS-3800N have a network interface card already installed at the factory. Printer Connections Printer (Rear) Serial Interface Connector for option sorter (See the option sorter's user's manual.) Parallel Interface Power Supply Network Option Network Interface Card (3.3 V DC) Before performing this step, be sure to turn off both the printer and the computer's power switches and unplug the printer's power plug from the power outlet. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock. A standard Centronics parallel interface connector ( ) and serial (RS-232C) interface connector (IOIOI) are located on the rear of the printer. Go to next page 7 Parallel Interface Connection 1 Plug one end of the printer cable (not included) into the parallel interface connector on the rear of the printer. · Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standards. · The printer will work best if it is installed near the computer. The connecting cable should be shielded and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet). Parallel Printer Cable Clip Clip 2 Close the clips on both sides to fix the connector in place. Plug the other end of the printer cable into the computer's parallel interface connector. Serial Interface Connection 1 Plug one end of the printer cable (not included) into the serial interface connector on the rear of the printer. The printer will work best if it is installed near the computer. The connecting cable should be shielded and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet). 2 Securely tighten the screws on both sides of the connector. Serial Interface Cable Plug the other end of the printer cable into the computer's serial interface connector. 8 6 STEP Connecting the Power Cord This section describes the procedure for connecting the power cord and various cautions. Notes on Power Supply · Install the printer near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone. · Only use this printer with the supply voltage indicated on the serial number label attached to the printer's rear panel. · If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 meters (17 feet) or less. Power Requirements Voltage Frequency Current capacity 120 V (U.S.A. and Canada), 220 to 240 V (European countries, and the Asia Pacific region), ±10 % at each voltage 60 Hz (120 V) ±2 %, 50/60 Hz (220 to 240 V) ±2 % Max. 7.2 A at 120 V, or max. 3.6 A at 220 to 240 V To Connect the Power Cord · Be sure the printer's power switch is turned off. · Only use the power cord supplied with the printer. 1 Plug the power cord into the power cord connector on the rear of the printer. into a power outlet. Power Cord Connector 2 Connect the other end of the power cord Be sure to connect to a 3-wire grounded power strip.
