How to Install the Optional 550-Sheet Paper Feeder on the S3840cdn / S3845cdn Dell Color Laser Printers

If the printer location needs to change or the printer and print media handling options need to be shipped to a new location, all print media handling options must be removed from the printer. For shipping, pack the printer and print media handling options securely to avoid damage.
