Finisher Unit Installation Guide Components Step 1: Prepare the Printer 1. Turn the printer off (!) and disconnect the power cord (") and interface cable (#). 2. Using a screwdriver, remove the breakout panels on the side of the printer.
Step 2: Prepare the Inverter 3. Install the metal brackets where the breakout panels were. Before assembling the finisher, you must adjust the height of the inverter unit to match the finisher: ! Inverter as supplied " Inverter changed for use with 4-tray finisher. 4. Open the face-up stacker (!), then open the flap and press it onto the stacker surface ("). 1. Unpack the inverter and remove any packing materials. 5. Close the stacker.
2. Remove the two bottom caps: a. Turn the inverter over. 3. Turn the inverter around and remove the screws holding the metal brackets in place. Keep the screws and brackets handy: they are used to help secure the extension plate once it is repositioned. b. Remove the two screws securing the bottom caps on either side of the inverter. 4. Turn the inverter around and remove the two screws holding the extension plate. Keep them handy to reattach the plate once it is repositioned. c.
5. Pull forward on the extension plate to disengage the pins from the top channel stops, then slide it down into the inverter and push back to engage the pins on the bottom channel stops. 7. Turn the inverter around and reinstall the brackets. Step 3: Assemble the Inverter 1. Place the hooks on the bottom of the inverter into the slots on the inverter stand, then slide the inverter to lock the hooks in place. 6. Reattach the extension plate using the screws you removed earlier.
Step 4: Assemble the Finisher 2. Attach the front of the inverter to the stand using two screws on either side. 1. Hook the finisher stand onto the inverter. 3. Attach the back of the inverter to the stand using one screw on either side. 2. Attach the finisher stand to the inverter with 2 screws. 4.

3. Place the finisher cover near the back of the finisher. Locate the tab (!) on the right side of the cover. 6. Place the large stopper over the tab on the cover and turn it to lock it in position. 4. Hold the clear band perpendicular to the cover and slip one end over the tab (!), then pivot the band 90 degrees (") so that it is aimed toward the finisher: 7. Attach the cover to the finisher and close it. 5.
8. Pull the finisher platform about half way out, then loosen the screw on the locking piece (!: viewed from the opposite direction) so that it drops through the slot below it. This keeps the platform from moving while you attach the finisher to it. 9. Position the finisher on the stand and attach it with two screws from the back. 10. Lift the locking piece back up and tighten the screw firmly. Be sure it’s out of the way and the screw is tight—otherwise the platform will not move freely. 11.
12. Secure the stacker with four screws. Step 5: Make Connections 1. Connect the finisher’s cable to the inverter (!). Use the cable supplied to connect the inverter to the printer ("). 13. Push the finisher against the printer until the prongs on the printer brackets fit into the holes in the finisher.
