PREPARING A LOCATION FOR THE PRINTER
Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand the machine weight - 20.4 kg (45lb) (B6200) or 22.6 kg (50lb) (B6300). If tilted, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The printer has ventilation holes on the side and rear panels. Ensure that the printer is installed with a minimum clearance of 255mm (10in) from the rear vent to any wall, 200mm (8in) from the left vent to any wall, and 300mm (12in) from the right vent to any wall. A poorly ventilated machine can cause excessive internal heat and fire. The following diagram shows the minimum clearances required for normal operation, consumables replacement, and maintenance to ensure your machine operates at peak performance.
* B6200
ENVIRONMENT
Ensure that the installation location meets the following conditions:
- Do not place the printer in a hot, humid, dusty or poorly ventilated environment. Prolonged exposure to such adverse conditions can result in fire or electric shock.
- Temperature range 10 – 32 °C (50 – 89 °F), humidity range 15 – 85% (no condensation). Humidity should be 70% or below at 32 °C (89 °F), and temperature should be 28°C (82 °F) or below at 85% humidity.
NOTE
Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold room or moving the printer from a location with low humidity/temperature to high humidity/temperature can cause condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image transfer. When condensation occurs, leave the printer for at least 1 hour to acclimatize to the environment before using it.
• Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight.
- Do not expose the printer to the direct draft of air-conditioning or heating.
You can install the face up (rear) tray on this printer if required.
NOTE
A face up (rear) tray can be installed on the B6300 only.
- Insert the right and left tabs of the face up (rear) tray into the holes at the back of the printer (1), and lower the tray into position (2).
- Push up the rear output tray lever as shown in the diagram (1) and pull out the extension tray (2).
- Affix the label provided to the back of the printer.

INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
If you have purchased any optional accessories, install them before setting the drum-toner cartridge and before loading paper. If there are no optional accessories to install, proceed to the next section, “Installing the Drum-Toner Cartridge” on page 35.
WARNING!
Never open or remove machine covers that are secured with screws unless specifically instructed in this guide. A high voltage component can cause electric shock.
Do not try to alter the machine configuration, or modify any parts. An unauthorized modification can cause smoke or fire.
CAUTION!
Ensure the printer is switched off before connecting any interface cables or options. Connecting cables or options to a live machine may result in an electric shock.
NOTE
To add more optional accessories when the printer is in use, you need to change the configuration of optional accessories in the printer driver. For details, refer to the Online Help for the printer driver.
