This section describes Dos and Don'ts, the provided software and utilities CD-ROMs, specifications, and paper. 142Draft 2008/02/07
Dos and Don'tsThe following items should be followed during use of this machine.• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an electric shock might occur.• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, youshould take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.• Do not turn the power off while the operation switch indicator is lit or blinking. Doing so may damage the hard disk.• Before unplugging the power cord or turning off the main power switch, make sure remaining memory space is at 100%, as shown onthe screen. See “Turning On/Off the Power”.• Do not touch areas on or around the fusing unit. These areas get hot.• After scanning originals continuously, the exposure glass may become warm - this is not a malfunction.• The area around the ventilation holes might feel warm. This is caused by exhaust air and is not a malfunction.• If the ambient temperature is high, the internal cooling fan will make noise when the machine is in standby mode. This noise does notindicate malfunction. Do not turn off the machine.• When you use this machine for a long time in a confined space without good ventilation, you may detect an odd smell. To keep theworkplace comfortable, we recommend that you keep it well ventilated.• If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may form inside it. After moving the machine, do not use it for atleast an hour. The machine requires this time to adapt to its new environment.• The machine will malfunction if its internal temperature becomes too high. Be sure not to block the intake and exhaust vents.• Do not turn off the power while the machine is in operation. See “Turning On/Off the Power”.• Do not open the covers of the machine when it is in operation. If you do, misfeeds might occur.• Do not move or tilt the machine when the power is on.• Do not allow small objects such as paperclips to fall into or become stuck inside the machine.• Do not knock the machine while it is operating (for instance, do not use the machine's surfaces to knock stacks of paper into square).• Depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, steam may come from the exhaust vent behind the control panel during printing.This is water vapour from the paper, not a sign of malfunction.• If condensation forms inside the machine as a result of temperature change, the machine may not print properly. To minimize this problem,use the optional anti-condensation heaters.• Be sure to make a note of the registered machine settings in case they are lost due to accident or malfunction.• The supplier shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from a failure of the machine, loss of settings, or use of the machine.•"Turning On/Off the Power"Saving Colour PrintsThis section explains notes on saving colour prints.• Like most prints, colour prints will fade if exposed to strong light or dampness and humidity for lengthy periods.Preserve the quality of your prints by storing them in a binder in a dark, dry place.• Toner may melt if a print and a half-dried print are put on top of each other.• Toner may also melt when using solvent type adhesive agents for pasting prints.• When folding prints, toner in the folds will come off. 143Draft 2008/02/07
• Toner may melt if it is placed on mats made of chlorinated plastic in locations of high temperature for longperiods of time.• Toner may melt if prints are placed in places of extremely high temperatures, such as near heaters. 244Draft 2008/02/07

See “Paper TraySettings”, General Settings Guide.• The multi bypass tray can be installed if the wide large capacity tray (Wide LCT) is installed.• Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.• If multiple sheet feeding occurs, load sheets one by one.• When you load label paper, set the paper direction to .• If you load paper of the same size in two or more trays, the machine automatically shifts to the other tray when the first tray in use runsout of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switching. (However, if the paper type of one tray is recycled or special paper, the settingsof the other trays must be the same for the Auto Tray Switching function to work.) This saves interrupting a copy run to replenish paperwhen making a large number of copies. You can set the paper type of the paper trays.
