Installing hardware options

Installing optional trays

The printer supports three types of optional input sources: an optional 550-sheet tray, an optional 2,000-sheet tray, and an optional 550-sheet specialty media drawer. Instructions for installing an optional input source are the same for each.

tipping_hazard caution icon CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Floor-mounted configurations require additional furniture for stability. You must use either a printer stand or printer base if you are using a high-capacity input tray, a duplex unit and an input option, or more than one input option. If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that scans, copies, and faxes, you may need additional furniture. For more information, see www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.
Note: The C736n, C736dn, and C736dtn model printers support a total of four optional input sources. The C734n, C734dn, C734dtn, and C734dnw model printers support a total of three optional input sources.
standard caution icon CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more trained personnel to lift it safely.
shock_hazard caution icon CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

  1. Unpack the optional tray, and remove all packing material.

  2. Place the tray in the location chosen for the printer.

    Note: If you are installing more than one optional tray, the 2,000-sheet tray must always be installed first (configuring from the bottom up).
    Warning—Potential Damage: The optional 550-sheet tray and the optional 550-sheet specialty media drawer are not interchangeable.
