Setting Up the Printer Place to Install The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its performance. 2 • Do not use any frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. • Do not use any power sources other than those that match the specifications shown in “Safety Information”. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. • Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. • Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. • Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. • Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard. • The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances. Doing so could result in fire, electric shock, or injury. • It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock. 26 Place to Install • If the power cord is damaged and its inner wires are exposed or broken, contact your service representative for a replacement. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock. • Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy disconnection of the power cord in the event of an emergency. 2 • Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. • Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur. • Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur. • Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily. • Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard. • Machine sound levels exceeding [Sound Power Level (Black and White)] > 63 dB (A) are not suitable for desk work environments, so place the machine in another room. • When new, electrical devices containing volatile materials will normally release emissions into the air of their vicinity. For this reason, for the first few days after installation of a new device, strong ventilation inside the room where it is placed is necessary. Space Required for Installation The recommended (or minimum) space requirements are as follows: 27 2. Setting Up the Printer 2 CBK018 Optimum Environmental Conditions Permissible and recommended temperature and humidity ranges are as follows: CBK019 • White area: Permissible Range • Blue area: Recommended Range • The printer must be level within 3 mm, 0.2" from both front to rear and left to right. • When you use this printer for a long time in a confined space without good ventilation, you may detect an odd smell. To keep the workplace comfortable, we recommend you keep it well ventilated. Environments to Avoid Do not use the printer in the following environments: • Areas exposed to direct sunlight or strong light 28 Place to Install • Dusty areas • Areas with corrosive gases • Areas that are excessively cold, hot, or humid • Areas directly exposed to currents of hot, cold, or room-temperature air from air conditioners • Areas directly exposed to radiant heat from heaters • Locations near air conditioners, heaters, or humidifiers • Locations near other electronic equipment 2 • Locations subject to frequent strong vibration Power Source Connect the power cord to a power source of the following specification: (mainly Europe and Asia) 220 - 240 V, 50/ 60 Hz, 6 A or more (mainly North America) 120 V, 60 Hz, 11 A or more 29 2. Setting Up the Printer Unpacking To protect it from shock and vibration during transit, this printer comes packaged in cushioning foam and secured with tape. Remove these protective materials after bringing the machine to where it will be installed. 2 • Keep the polythene materials (bags, etc.) supplied with this machine away from babies and small children at all times.

Duplex printing Not supported • Check there is no air in the envelopes before loading. • Load only one size and type of envelope at a time. • Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or print poorly. • Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to check print quality. 6 • In a hot and humid environment, the envelope might be output creased or improper printing quality. Note • The number of envelopes that can be printed in one minute is approximately half that of Plain Paper 1. • Paper can be loaded only up to the lower of the two paper limit marks of the bypass tray. • If printed envelopes come out badly creased, load the envelopes in the opposite direction. Also, configure the printer driver to rotate the print object 180 degrees. • Environmental factors can degrade the print quality on both recommend and non-recommended envelopes. • After printing, envelopes sometimes have creases along their long edges and toner smear on their unprinted sides. Their print images might also be blurred. When printing large, black-solid areas, striping can occur as a result of the envelopes overlapping. • To load envelopes that open along the long edge, set the flap edge against the left paper guide. If the flap of the envelope is folded closed, set the flap edge flush against the left paper guide. If the flap of the envelope is open, set the envelope with the tip of the open flap against the left paper guide. 114 Supported Paper Types CBK099 • To correctly specify the length of an envelope whose flap opens along its short edge, be sure to include the open flap when measuring. 6 ASH125S Storing Paper Take care when storing paper. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows: • Avoid storing paper in humid areas. • Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight. • Store on a flat surface. • Keep paper in its original package until time to use it. 115 6. Loading Paper Non-Recommended Paper Types • Do not use the following types of paper: • Ink-jet printer paper • GelJet special paper • Bent, folded, or creased paper • Curled or twisted paper • Wet paper • Paper that is dry enough to emit static electricity • Paper that has already been printed onto, except a preprinted letterhead paper. Malfunctions are especially likely when using paper printed on by other than a laser printer (e.g.monochrome and color copiers, ink-jet printers, etc.) 6 • Surface-processed paper (excluding specified paper) • Special paper, such as thermal paper and carbon paper • Paper whose weight is heavier or lighter than the limitation • Perforated paper • Adhesive label paper on which glue or base paper is exposed • Paper with clips or staples • Dirty or damaged paper • OHP transparencies • Even if paper is adequate for the printer, poorly stored paper can cause paper misfeeds, print quality degradation, or malfunctions. 116 Print Area Print Area This section describes the area of a page that is available for printing. Be sure to set the print margins correctly by the application. The following diagram shows the print area for this printer.

Loading Paper into a Standard or Optional Paper Feed Tray The following explains loading procedure for the standard paper feed tray. • Do not put your hands inside the printer when the input tray is removed. Some internal parts become hot and are a burn hazard. • Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and cause an injury. • Take care to avoid cutting your hands when loading paper. 6 • Make sure paper is not stacked higher than the upper limit mark inside the paper feed tray. Excessive stacking can cause paper jams. • Do not mix different types of paper in the same paper tray. • After loading paper in the tray, specify the paper type and size using the control panel. This printer does not automatically detect the size of paper loaded in a tray. Make sure the paper size and type is selected using the control panel. • If the bypass tray is open, close it before pulling out Tray 1. • Do not move the side paper guides forcefully. Doing so can damage the tray. • Do not move the end paper guide forcefully. Doing so can damage the tray. • When inserting the tray, make sure it is not slanted.

If the settings are not the same, change the settings of the printer driver. 220 Other Printing Problems Some complex images do not print out on large custom size paper, such as paper with a length of 1260 mm. • If the image prints out when a lower resolution is set, the printer does not have enough memory to process the image. To print the image at higher resolution, install the optional memory. An empty tray is selected by Auto Tray Select, and the document does not print out due to out of paper error. • If a paper tray is opened and closed while the printer is in Energy Saver mode, the printer will initialize the tray upon recovery, but the tray will not be selectable by Auto Tray Select. To print from a paper tray that you have opened and closed while the printer was in Energy Saver mode, you must manually specify the tray as the source paper tray before printing. When the printer recovers from Energy Saver mode and completes initialization, it will then print the document from the tray you have specified. 9 221 9. Troubleshooting Additional Troubleshooting Strange noise is heard. • If a supply was recently replaced or an option attached in the area the strange noise is coming from, check the supply or option is properly attached. If the strange noise persists, contact your sales or service representative. No e-mail is received when an Alert occurs, and after resolving an Alert. • Confirm [Auto E-mail Notify] is active in the [System] Menu on the Control Panel. See "System Menu", Software Guide. • Access the printer through a Web browser, log in as an Administrator on Web Image Monitor, and then confirm the following settings in [Auto E-mail Notification]: • Device E-mail Address • Groups to Notify • Select Groups/Items to Notify For details about the settings, see Web Image Monitor Help. • Access the printer through the Web browser, log in as an Administrator on the Web Image Monitor, and then confirm the settings of the SMTP server in [E-mail]. For details about the settings, see Web Image Monitor Help. • When the power is turned off before the e-mail is transmitted, the e-mail will not be received. 9 • Check the e-mail address set for the destination. Confirm the printer's operation history using Web Image Monitor's System Log menu in [Network]. If the e-mail was sent but not received, it is possible the destination was incorrect. Also check the information concerning error mail from the e-mail server. The setting for [Auto E-mail Notify] on the System Menu was changed from [Off] to [On], but e-mail is not arriving. • After changing the setting, turn the printer's power off and then back on again.

Consult with the store where the printer was purchased for information about the location of sales or service representatives. 9 223 9. Troubleshooting 9 224 10. Removing Misfed Paper This chapter explains how to remove misfed paper. When Paper is Jammed An error message appears if a paper misfeed occurs. The error message gives the location of the misfeed. Check the location and remove the paper. • The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the "hot surface". Otherwise, an injury might occur. • Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when removing misfed paper. Not doing so could result in burns. • When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your clothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing, wash the stained area with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and make removing the stain impossible. • When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your skin. If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. • Forcefully removing misfed paper may cause paper to tear and leave scraps of paper in the printer. This might cause a misfeed and damage the printer. 10 • When paper is misfed a number of times, the following are possible causes. • The control panel settings do not match the size or orientation of the loaded paper. • The paper feed roller is dirty. • For details about cleaning the paper feed roller, see "Cleaning the Friction Pad and the Paper Feed Roller". • Misfed paper may be covered with toner. Be careful not to get toner on your hands or clothes. • Toner on prints made after removing misfed paper may be loose (inadequately fused). Make a few test prints until smudges no longer appear. 225 10. Removing Misfed Paper • Paper jams can cause pages to be lost. Check your print job for missing pages and reprint any pages that did not print out. • Remove the paper from the bypass tray before opening the front cover. • If a misfeed occurs when using the bypass tray, open the front cover, and then remove the misfed paper. • If paper is still misfed after you have checked the above-mentioned causes, contact your sales or service representative. • p.182 "Cleaning the Friction Pad and the Paper Feed Roller" 10 226 Paper Misfeed Message (A) Paper Misfeed Message (A) The " (A) Remove paper from Trays.
