Condition
Possible cause
Your
machine
has an odd
smell
during initial
use.
The oil used to
protect the fuser is
evaporating.
Printing quality problems
Suggested solutions
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly,
you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear
the problem.
After printing about 100 color
pages, there will be no more
smell. It is a temporary issue.
Condition
Suggested solutions
Light or faded print
If a vertical white streak or faded area appears
on the page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to
temporarily extend the print cartridge life. If
this does not improve the print quality, install
a new print cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper
specifications; for example, the paper may
be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications
on print media" on page 4.2.)
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution
setting is too low or the toner save mode is
on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the
toner save mode off. See the help screen of
the printer driver and refer to Software
section, respectively.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the print cartridge needs
cleaning. Contact a service representative.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU,
contact a service representative.
7.13
Toner specks
• The paper may not meet specifications; for
example, the paper may be too moist or
rough. (See "Specifications on print
media" on page 4.2.)
• The paper transfer belt may be dirty. Clean
the inside of your machine. Contact a
service representative.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact
a service representative.
Dropouts
If faded areas, generally rounded, occur
randomly on the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective.
Try reprinting the job.
• The moisture content of the paper is uneven
or the paper has moist spots on its surface.
Try a different brand of paper. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing
processes can cause some areas to reject
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
• If these steps do not correct the problem,
contact a service representative.

Condition
White Spots
Suggested solutions
Condition
White spots appear on the page:
• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from
the paper falls to the inner devices within
the machine, which means the transfer belt
may be dirty. Clean the inside of your
machine. Contact a service representative.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact
a service representative.
Vertical lines
Vertical repetitive
defects
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side
of the page at even intervals:
• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a
service representative to clean the inside of
the machine. After cleaning the inside of the
machine, if you still have the same
problems, install a new print cartridge of the
problem color. See "Replacing the print
cartridge" on page 6.4.
• Parts of the machine may have toner on
them. If the defects occur on the back of the
page, the problem will likely correct itself
after a few more pages.
• The fusing assembly may be damaged.
Contact a service representative.
Background scatter
Background scatter results from bits of toner
randomly distributed on the printed page.
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The print cartridge has probably been
scratched. Remove the print cartridge and
install a new one.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a
service representative to clean the inside of
the machine.
Color or Black
background
• The paper may be too damp. Try printing
with a different batch of paper. Do not open
packages of paper until necessary so that
the paper does not absorb too much
moisture.
• If background scatter occurs on an
envelope, change the printing layout to
avoid printing over areas that have
overlapping seams on the reverse side.
Printing on seams can cause problems.
• If background scatter covers the entire
surface area of a printed page, adjust the
print resolution through your software
application or in printer properties.
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• Check the environmental conditions: very
dry conditions (low humidity) or a high level
of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can
increase the amount of background
shading.
• Remove the old print cartridge, and then
install a new one. (See "Replacing the print
cartridge" on page 6.4.)
Toner smear
Suggested solutions
• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a
service representative to clean the inside of
the machine.
• Check the paper type and quality. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• Remove the paper transfer belt, and then
install a new one. (See "Replacing the print
cartridge" on page 6.4.)
7.14
Misformed
characters
• If characters are improperly formed and
producing hollow images, the paper stock
may be too slick. Try different paper. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
Page skew
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• Ensure that the paper or other material is
loaded correctly and the guides are not too
tight or too loose against the paper stack.

Condition
Suggested solutions
Curl or wave
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. Both high
temperature and humidity can cause paper
curl. (See "Specifications on print media" on
page 4.2.)
• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also
try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
Wrinkles or creases
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also
try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
Back of printouts
are dirty
Black pages
Condition
Loose toner
• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a
service representative to clean the inside of

Common Linux problems
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
The machine does not
print.
• Check if the printer driver is installed in
your system. Open the Unified Driver
configuration tool and switch to the
Printers tab in the Printers configuration
window to look at the list of available
machines. Make sure that your machine
is displayed on the list. If not, use the
Add new printer wizard to set up your
device.
• Check if the machine has started. Open
Printers configuration and select your
machine on the machines list. Look at
the description in the Selected printer
pane. If its status contains a “(stopped)”
string, please, click Start. After that,
normal operation of the machine should
be restored. The “stopped” status might
have been activated when problems in
printing occurred.
• Check if your application has special
print options such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw”
is specified in the command line
parameter, then remove it to print
properly. For Gimp front-end, select
“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit the
command line parameter in the
command item.
• The CUPS (Common Unix Printing
System) version distributed with SuSE
Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem
with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol)
printing. Use the socket printing instead
of ipp or install a later version of CUPS
(cups-1.1.22 or higher).
Some color images
come out in
unexpected color.
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
The machine does not
print whole pages and
its output is half-page
printed.
It is a known problem that occurs when a
color machine is used on version 8.51 or
earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and
reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as
Ghostscript Bug 688252. The problem is
solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or
above. Download the latest version of
AFPL Ghostscript from http://
sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ and
install it to solve this problem.
I encounter error
“Cannot open port
device file” when
printing a document.
Please avoid changing print job
parameters (via LPR GUI, for example)
while a print job is in progress. Known
versions of CUPS server cut off the print
jobs whenever print options are changed
and then try to restart the job from the
beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks
the port while printing, the abrupt
termination of the driver keeps the port
locked and therefore unavailable for
subsequent print jobs. If this situation
occurs, try to release the port.
Common Macintosh problems
This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until
GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the
base color space of the document is
indexed RGB color space and it is
converted through CIE color space.
Because Postscript uses CIE color space
for Color Matching System, you should
upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at
least GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or
later. You can find recent Ghostscript
versions at www.ghostscript.com.

This chapter includes:
•
Precautions to take when installing accessories
•
Installing a memory module
Precautions to take when installing accessories
• Disconnect the power cord
control board cover
Never remove the control board cover while the power is turned on.
To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the
power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external
accessories.
Note
If you want to remove an existing memory module, push the
two latches at the ends of the module outward.
• Discharge static electricity
Take out a new memory module from the plastic bag.
The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or
memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or
removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your
body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any
device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before
finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static
electricity again.
Holding the memory module by the edges, align the memory
module on the slot at about a 30-degree tilt. Make sure that the
notches of the module and the grooves on the slot fit each other.
Installing a memory module
Your machine has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this
memory module slot to install additional memory.
The machine has two memory slots with a factory pre-installed memory
module in one slot. When you are expanding the memory capacity, you
can add a memory module to the vacant memory slot. It is strongly
recommended that you expand a memory module in vacant memory slot
only without removing a pre-installed memory module. If your machine
has 128 MB memory capacity and you want to add 512 MB, the memory
capacity expands up to 640 MB.
Note
The notches and grooves illustrated above may not match
those on an actual memory module and its slot.
Press the memory module into the slot with care until you hear a
'click'.
Order information is provided for optional memory module. (See

11 Glossary
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance
for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as
pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs,
usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000
pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages
a day, which is not small amount.
BOOTP
It stands for Bootstrap Protocol, a network protocol used by a network
client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the
bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them.
The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to
each client.
Ethernet
A control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are
displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine.
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area
networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer,
and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data
link layer of the OSI model. It has become the most widespread LAN
technology in use presently.
Coverage
Fuser Unit
This is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing
and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4
sized paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original
has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5%
and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media.
It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the
fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the
paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a
laser printer.
Default
Gateway
The first set values.
This is a connection between computer networks, or between a computer
network and a telephone line. And it is very popular, as it is a computer
or a network that allows access to another computer or network.
Control Panel
DHCP
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server
networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters
specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information
required by the client host to participate on an IP network.
Grayscale
Shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when
color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by
various shades of gray.
DIMM
Halftone
Dual Inline Memory Module, a small circuit board that holds memory.
DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data, received
fax data, or scanned data.
This is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of
dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter
areas consist of a smaller number of dots.
DNS
Intranet
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information
associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks.
This is a private network that uses Internet Protocols, network
connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to
securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its
employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service,
the internal website.
DPI
This is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or
scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution,
more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
IP address
Duplex
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a unique number that
devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a
network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP).
This is a mechanism which automatically flips over a sheet of paper so
that the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer
equipped with a Duplex can print double-sided.
IPM
The Images Per Minute.
11.1

ISO
Subnet Mask
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an
international standard-setting body composed of representatives from
national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and
commercial standards.
A bitmask used to tell how many bits in an octet(s) identify the
subnetwork, and how many bits provide room for host addresses.
LED
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP).
It is the set of communications protocols that implement the protocol
stack on which the Internet and most commercial networks run.
TCP/IP
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the
status of a machine.
print cartridge
Print Media
It is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner.
Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the
text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of
the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.
Media such as papers, envelopes, labels, and transparencies which can
be used on a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier.
OPC Drum
URL
A mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam
emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and
cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its
usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it
becomes scratched from grit in paper.
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and
resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what
protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain
name where the resource is located.
PDF
USB
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed
by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a
device-independent and resolution-independent format.
Universal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB
Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike
the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single
computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
PostScript
PostScript (PS) is a page description language and programming
language used primarily in the electronic and desktop publishing areas,
and that is run in an interpreter to generate an image.
PPM
Pages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a
printer can actually print per minute.
PRN file
An interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the
device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies
many tasks.
Protocol
This is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection,
communication, and data transfer between two computing endpoints.
PS
See PostScript.
Resolution
The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher
the dpi, the greater the resolution.

Advanced Options
Extras Tab
You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced
Options button.
• Raster Compression: This option determines the
compression level of images for transferring data from a
computer to a printer. If you set this option to Maximum, the
printing speed will be high, but the printing quality will be low.
• TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver
tells the printer about how to image the text in your document.
Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your
document.
- Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the
driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your
document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If,
after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print
correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your
print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful
when printing Adobe. This feature is available only
when you use the PCL printer driver.
- Download as Bitmap: When this option is selected, the
driver will download the font data as bitmap images.
Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or
Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.
- Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver
will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents
with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts,
printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this
setting.
• Print All Text To Black: When the Print All Text To
Black option is checked, all text in your document prints solid
black, regardless of the color it appears on the screen.
• Print All Text To Darken: When the Print All Text To
Darken option is checked, all text in your document is allowed
to print darker than on a normal document. Some printers do
not support this feature.
You can select output options for your document. See “Printing
a Document” on page 13 for more information about accessing
the printer properties.
Click the Extras tab to access the following feature:
Watermark
You can create a background text image to be printed on each
page of your document. For details, see “Using Watermarks” on
page 22.
Overlay
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and
letterhead paper. For details, see “Using Overlays” on page 23.
Output Options
• Print Subset: You can set the sequence in which the pages
print. Select the print order from the drop-down list.
- Normal (1,2,3): Your printer prints all pages from the first
page to the last page.
- Reverse All Pages (3,2,1): Your printer prints all pages
from the last page to the first page.
- Print Odd Pages: Your printer prints only the odd numbered
pages of the document.
- Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even
numbered pages of the document.
• Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident
fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the
fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes
time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.
When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts
used in your document to those stored in its memory. If,
however, you use fonts in your document that are very different
from those resident in the printer, your printed output will
appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL
printer driver.

Dear ABC
Regards
WORLD BEST
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your
document.
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay
containing your logo or image.

•Resolution(Quality): You can select the printing
resolution. The higher the setting, the sharper the clarity
of printed characters and graphics. The higher setting
also may increase the time it takes to print a document.
•RGB Color: This setting determines how colors are
rendered. Standard is the most widely used setting
which the color tone of this mode is the closest to that of
standard monitor (sRGB Monitor). Vivid mode is
appropriate for printing presentation data and charts.

Printing Multiple Pages on One Sheet
of Paper
Duplex Printing
You can print on both sides of the paper. Before printing in the
duplex mode, decide on which edge you will be binding your
finished document. The binding options are:

of paper on the Pages per Sheet drop-down list.
Select the page order from the Layout Direction option.
▲ Mac OS 10.3
To print a border around each page on the sheet, select
the option you want from the Border drop-down list.
Click Print, and the printer prints the selected number of
pages on one side of each page.
Select a binding orientation from Two Sided Printing
option.
Click Print and the printer prints on both sides of the
paper.
CAUTION: If you have selected duplex printing and
then try to print multiple copies of a document, the
printer may not print the document in the way you
want. In case of "Collated copy" , if your document has
odd pages, the last page of the first copy and the first
page of the next copy will be printed on the front and
back of one sheet. In case of "Uncollated copy", the
same page will be printed on the front and back of one
sheet. Therefore, if you need multiple copies of a
document and you want those copies on both sides of
the paper, you must print them one at a time, as
separate print jobs.
