Official Capsul setup steps, from the MB4000 quick start guide. Questions: support@capsuloffice.com

## Get it ready

1. **Unpack.** Set the printer on a sturdy, level surface with room to open the trays and covers. The toner and drum ship inside.
2. **Remove the orange tape and packing.** Check all five spots: the outside tape, the rear cover, the scanner glass, the front cover, and the paper tray. Keep the box in case you ever ship the printer.
3. **Take out the two shipping spacers.** They sit behind the rear cover and are easy to miss. Open the rear cover, lower both ends of the paper path, push the green levers down, and pull out both spacers. Close the cover when you’re done.
4. **Get the toner ready.** Open the front cover, lift out the drum unit, and peel off all tape. To reach the seal, push the latch to unclip the toner from the drum. Pull the seal, rock the toner 10 times, click it back into the drum, slide it in, press down, and close the cover. Don’t touch the drum’s roller.
5. **Load paper.** Fan the stack first so sheets don’t stick together. Pull out the tray, slide the guides to your paper size, load paper print side down, and push the tray in.
6. **Plug in and power on.** Plug in the power cord and press the power button. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the printer off.

## Print, no driver needed

- **Windows 10 and 11:** Search Start for Printers & scanners, select Add device, and choose the MB4000. Windows sets it up for you.
- **Mac:** Open System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer. Select the MB4000 and click Add. It prints with AirPrint.
- **iPhone and iPad:** In any app, tap Share › Print. Tap Printer, choose the MB4000, and tap Print. That’s AirPrint, built in.
- **Android:** Tap Share or the menu, then Print, and choose the MB4000. Not listed? Install Mopria Print Service from Google Play.

## Other ways to connect

- **Network cable:** Plug a network cable into the port on the back. The printer picks up an address on its own.
- **USB cable:** For one computer. Run the driver installer before you plug in the cable.
- **Full driver (optional):** Most setups don’t need it. Get it to scan into a computer app, connect by USB only, or meet an IT policy that requires a vendor driver. Download it below.

## Questions
