Using the standard exit bin and paper stop
The standard exit bin holds up to 150 sheets of 20 lb paper. It collects print jobs facedown. The standard exit bin
includes a paper stop that keeps paper from sliding out the front of the bin as it stacks. The paper stop also aids in
neater stacking of the paper.
To open the paper stop, pull it so it flips forward.

							Notes:
Do not leave the paper stop in the open position if you are printing on transparencies. Doing so may cause
creases in the transparencies.
When moving the printer to another location, make sure the paper stop is closed.

							Additional printer setup
After completing any additional printer setup, print a menu settings page to verify that all printer options are installed
correctly. See “Printing a menu settings page” on page 30 for more information. The option names appear on this
page if they are installed correctly. Since you have not made any setting changes yet, if you print the page now it
lists all the factory default settings. Once you select and save other settings from the menus, when you print this page,
the user default settings are listed on the page.
Saved settings are called user default settings because you, the user, selected the values and saved them as the new
settings.
A user default setting remains in effect until you access the menu again, choose another value, and save it. An asterisk
(*) appears next to each factory default setting, but once a user default setting is in effect, the asterisk appears next
to the user default setting on the display.
Factory default settings can be restored. See “Restoring the factory default settings” on page 136 for more
information.
Selecting a location for the printer
When selecting a location for the printer, leave enough room to open trays, covers, and doors. If you plan to install
any options, leave enough room for them also. It is important to:
Make sure airflow in the room meets the latest revision of the ASHRAE 62 standard.
Provide a flat, sturdy, and stable surface.
Keep the printer:
–Away from the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or ventilators
–Free from direct sunlight, humidity extremes, or temperature fluctuations
–Clean, dry, and free of dust
Allow the following recommended amount of space around the printer for proper ventilation:
1Rear300 mm (12.0 in.)
2Front300 mm (12.0 in.)
