Operator Safety:

This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine con-

tains 10-milliwatt, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected)

eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock

mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.

Laser Safety:

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical unit

in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite

equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser

chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis

and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement or the optical subsystem is re-

quired.

Important

Parts of this manual are subject to change without prior notice. In no event will the company be liable

for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages as a result of handling or operating

the machine.

Paper Types and Sizes

This section provides the type, size, feed direction, and maximum capacity of

paper that can be loaded into each paper tray in this printer.

Note

❒The ”K” symbol means short-edge feed direction.

❒The ”L” symbol means long-edge feed direction.

❒ The paper feed direction depends on the paper size.

Precautions for Paper

Note the following precautions when handling or selecting paper to be used

with this printer.

Cautions in loading paper

Important

❒Do not use paper that is meant for an inkjet printer. Otherwise, it may stick to

the fusing unit and cause a paper misfeed.

❒When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it with the

print side down onto the bypass tray. Otherwise, it may stick to the fusing

unit and cause a misfeed.

• Use only the recommended paper types. Print quality cannot be guaranteed

if other paper types are used. ⇒ P.23 “Paper not supported by this printer”

• Do not use paper that is already printed on.

Cautions in storing paper

Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result

in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage.

Follow the precautions below.

• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.

• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.

• Store on a flat surface.

• Keep open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.

Removing Misfed Paper

When a paper misfeed occurs, an er-

ror message appears on the panel dis-

play. The procedure you should

follow to remove the misfed paper

depends on its location which is indi-

cated on the panel display.

CAUTION:

Important

❒If your printer is equipped with

the optional tray, do not pull out

more than one tray with paper at a

time. If you do, the printer might

tilt forward.

❒Check the following points if pa-

per continues to misfeed.

• Make sure paper is properly

loaded in the paper tray.

• Make sure the number of sheets

do not exceed the maximum ca-

pacity of the tray.

• Make sure you are using only

the appropriate type of paper.

• Make sure misfed paper is still

not inside the printer when you

resume printing.

• Check the paper type settings.

The type of paper set with the

printer driver might be different

from the actual paper or media

type. Make the correct paper or

media type setting.

❒Make sure the size of the paper

loaded in tray 1 is same as the size

of the OHP transparency.

❒If misfeeds persist, contact your

sales or service representative.

❒Do not touch the photoconductor

unit when removing misfed paper.

If you do, the photoconductor unit

might be damaged.

❒Exposing the photoconductor unit

to light for too long can reduce its

performance. Close the cover as

quickly as possible.

❒After removing the misfed paper,

the back sides of the next printout

might get dirty. Print a few pages

to absorb the toner.

•

When removing misfed pa-

per, do not touch the fusing

section because it could be

very hot.

•

When accessing the inside of

the machine, do not touch any

sections other than those

specified in this manual. If you

do, it might result in receiving

a burn or injury.

Toner Cartridge

*1 A4 5% test chart

Note

❒The actual number of printed pages you get from a particular toner car-

tridge depends on the type and size of paper you are using, the contents of

your print images, and printing environment conditions. The life of a toner

cartridge also shortens as the cartridge becomes older. All this means that

a toner cartridge might require replacement sooner than the normal life de-

scribed above.

❒Toner cartridges that come with the printer are for setup purposes, and

will not provide the number of pages described above. The average num-

ber of printable pages that can be expected from the toner cartridges in-

cluded in the printer are as follows:

• Black toner cartridge : about 6,000 pages

• Cyan, magenta and yellow toner cartridges : about 3,000 pages for each

•

Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and

functionality. When purchasing expendable supplies, we recommend using

only those specified by an authorized dealer.

Other Consumables

Note

❒Actual life of consumables depends on the type and size of paper you are

using, the contents of your print images, and printing environment condi-

tions. The life of consumables also shortens as the consumables become

older. All that means that consumables might require replacement sooner

than the life indicated.
