first and follow the steps below:
Location
1. Select a stable location.
Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow
extra space to open covers and trays.
The area should be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight or
sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to the
edge of your desk or table.
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the
altitude setting to optimize your printing. (See "Altitude adjustment" on
page 25.)
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface so that there is no incline
greater than 2 mm (0.08 inch). Otherwise, printing quality may be
affected.
2. Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3. Remove tape holding the machine securely.
4. Install the toner cartridge.
5. Load paper. (See "Loading paper in the tray" on page 27.)
