- Turn off the power switch. Unplug the telephone line cord (for MFC users) and interface cable, and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
- Using two people, lift the machine carefully and place it onto the optional lower tray unit, so that the alignment pins of the lower tray unit are inserted into the guide holes on the bottom of the machine as shown.

- Follow the steps below to exchange the paper tray front of the standard paper tray to the new one (1).
- Carefully lift up and hold the metal plate inside the paper tray (2).
- While the metal plate is raised, lift the new paper tray front (1) to the front of the paper tray. Make sure that the blue paper indicator lever (3) passes through the hole (4).
- Once the paper tray front is correctly fitted, let go of the metal plate. The blue lever should sit underneath the metal plate.
