This document outlines the installation and initial setup procedures for the Color MFP 36/36 ppm (36C-9) and 30/30 ppm (30C-9) multifunction printers. It emphasizes the importance of following the steps in the correct order to prevent potential image quality issues.
Outline of Installation Procedures
The installation process involves several components, including the main machine and various optional units. The document provides a flowchart illustrating the recommended installation order for these components. Key components include:
- Main Machine: The core printing unit.
- Paper Feed Cabinets (PC-110, PC-210, PC-410): These units provide additional paper capacity.
- Large Capacity Unit (LU-302): Further expands paper capacity.
- Document Feeders (DF-704, DF-629): For automatic scanning of multiple documents.
- Finishers (FS-533, FS-534, FS-534SD): Provide stapling, sorting, and other finishing options.
- Punch Kits (PK-519, PK-520): Add hole-punching capabilities.
- Job Separator (JS-506): Separates print jobs.
- Relay Unit (RU-513): Connects various finishing options.
- Other Kits (HT-509, TK-101, MK-734, KP-101, KH-102, UK-212, MK-730, MK-735, AU-102, AU-201S, WT-506, SP-501, OC-511, CU-101, MK-745): These include heaters, transformers, various interface kits, authentication units, and covers, all contributing to the machine's functionality and security.
- Electronic System Options (EK-609, EK-608, HD-524, UK-211, SC-508, FK-514, IC-416, VI-508): These options, which can be installed in any order, enhance the machine's electronic capabilities, such as hard disk storage, security features, and fax functionality.
Caution:
Lifting the main body requires adequate manpower and proper lifting techniques to prevent personal injury, as it weighs approximately 85 kg (187-3/8 lb).
Note:
Detailed installation procedures for each option are provided in their respective manuals. The machine requires a paper feed cabinet, a dual scan document feeder, a reverse automatic document feeder, or an original cover to function. The power switch should not be turned off until all installation work is complete.
Installation Space
The document provides detailed dimensions for the machine with various options installed, ensuring proper space allocation for operation and maintenance. For example, with the DF-704, PC-210, FS-534, MK-730, and LU-302, the total width is 2124 mm (83-5/8 inches), and the depth is 818 mm (32-3/16 inches).
Pre-installation Check Items
Before installation, several environmental and power considerations must be addressed:
- Location: The machine should be installed on a level and stable surface, away from direct sunlight, hot and humid environments, dusty areas, or places with volatile and flammable substances. Good ventilation is also essential.
- Power Source: The power source must match the product specifications for voltage and frequency, and its current carrying capacity must meet or exceed the machine's requirements. The machine should be connected directly to a dedicated power outlet without using an extension cord.
- Safety: Avoid plugging or unplugging the power cord with wet or dirty hands to prevent electric shock.
Notes on Using the Touch Panel
The machine features a capacitive touch panel. Users should be instructed on its proper use:
- Interaction: Use a finger or the supplied stylus pen to interact with the touch panel. Using nails or pen tips may prevent normal response.
- Pressure: Avoid pressing the panel too hard or using sharp objects, as this can cause damage.
- Operation: The touch panel responds to quick, light finger taps.
Accessory Parts
The machine comes with several accessory parts:
- User's guide holder (1)
- Installation manual (1 set)
- Paper size label (1)
- Cap A (Black) (2)
- Cap B (White) (2)
