Component Function

1. Top Output Tray Printed sheets are automatically collated and stacked

(facedown) here.

2. Paper Stop Stops the printed paper as it exits the printer. The

paper stop helps to stack the paper neatly and can be

adjusted for A4, letter-size (LTR), or legal-size (LGL)

paper.

3. Font Cartridge Slots These two slots accept the optional font and emulation

protocol cartridges available for the printer.

4. Power Switch Powers the printer on or off. Pressing ‘‘ |’’ turns

power on; pressing ‘‘O’’ turns power off. To ensure

that data is not lost, always be sure the message

display reads 00 READY and the Data indicator is off,

before you power off the printer. See Section 2.1 and

Section 2.2 for additional information about powering

the printer on and off.

5. Front Cover Release Button Lifting this button unlocks the front cover so it can be

opened. The front cover is opened to perform certain

printer funtions as such replacing the EP-L

cartridge

or clearing a paper jam.

6. Output Tray Selector This selector chooses the output delivery tray. The

top position sends paper facedown to the top output

tray. The bottom position sends paper faceup to the

front output tray. Refer to Section 2.7 for additional

information about output paper tray selection.

7. Paper Tray The paper tray holds paper, transparencies, labels,

or envelopes and automatically feeds them into the

printer. It can hold approximately 50 sheets of 75

g/m

basis weight paper (20 lb.). See Section 2.4 for

more information about loading print media in the

tray.

8. Extension Tray The extension tray pulls out to support paper or

envelopes.

9. Adjustable Paper Guide The adjustable paper guide slides to the left or right to

accommodate the paper size you are using. The paper

guide minimizes paper jams by aligning the stack of

paper so that each sheet of paper enters the printer

properly. See Section 2.4 for more information about

loading paper in the tray.

EP-L stands for electrophotographic laser.
