FAX BRANDING
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any
message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or
on the first page of the transmission the following information:
1. the date and time of transmission
2. identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message; and
3. telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is
reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can
be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require
modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given
adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the
machine. In some instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether
you have “overloaded” the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems making and receiving
telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone
line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on
your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may
cause harm to the telephone network.
The equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service, providing that they:
a) promptly notify the customer.
b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.
c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in
FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.
You should also know that:
•
•
Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.
If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your machine, you may experience transmission and
reception problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with
your machine.
• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power
and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.
• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the
emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency
number.
• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.
• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.
You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be
present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The
wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If
the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices
are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this
time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken
to minimize human contact during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body
(this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are
on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless
devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices
are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use
of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask
the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of
a wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are
in place and the system is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it.
Contact manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact
manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Windows)
Printing a network configuration report
You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control
panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help
you to set up a network and troubleshoot problems.
1. Press Menu on the control panel.
2. Press the left/right arrow until Network appears and press OK.
3. Press the left/right arrow until Network Info. appears and press OK.
4. Press the left/right arrow until Yes appears and press OK.
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC
address and IP address.
For example:
• MAC Address:00:15:99:41:A2:78
• IP Address:192.0.0.192
Setting IP address
First, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and
managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located
on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a
static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.
• DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the
report.
• Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address
from your computer. If your machine has a control panel, you can also
change IP address using the machine's control panel.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network
administrator to set IP address for you.
This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your
machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. A
MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network interface and
can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
Before using SetIP program, disable the computer firewall by performing
the following steps.
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Double-click Security Center.
3. Click Windows Firewall.

In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network
administrator to set IP address for your machine.
•
Wireless network name and Network Key
Wireless networks require higher security. When an access point is first set
up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used and a Network Key
should be created for the network. Check this information before proceeding
with the machine installation.
Choosing your network connection
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and
the machine at a time. There are two types of network connections to
consider.
• Wireless network without an access point (Ad-Hoc mode)
• Wireless network with an access point (Infrastructure mode)
Printing a network configuration report
You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control
panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help
you to set up a network and troubleshoot problems.
1. Press Menu on the control panel.
2. Press the left/right arrow until Network appears and press OK.
3. Press the left/right arrow until Network Info. appears and press OK.
4. Press the left/right arrow until Yes appears and press OK.
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC
address and IP address.
For example:
• MAC Address:00:15:99:41:A2:78
• IP Address:192.0.0.192
IP addresses
Every device in a network has a unique numerical address called an IP
Address. Your machine came with a Default IP address of 192.0.0.192,
which you can verify by printing out Network Configuration Report or
Configuration Report.
• DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the
Infrastructure mode
This is an environment generally used for homes
and SOHOs. This mode uses an access point to
communicate with the wireless machine.
• See "Installing the machine on a wireless
network with an Access Point (Windows)" on
page 52.
• See "Installing the machine on a wireless
network with an Access Point (Macintosh)" on
page 55.
Ad-Hoc mode
This mode does not use an access point, the
wireless computer and wireless machine
communicate directly.
• See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc
wireless network (Windows)" on page 54
• See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc
wireless network (Macintosh)" on page 56
After choosing your configuration, follow the simple directions for your
computer operating system, but first locate the Software CD supplied
with the machine before proceeding.
Installing a wireless network with the WPS button

Setting IP address
First, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and
managements. In most cases, a new IP address will be automatically
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located
on the network.
In a few situations, the IP address must be set manually. This is called a
static IP and is often required in a corporate Intranets for security reasons.
• DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the
report.G(See "Printing a network configuration report" on page 50.)

• Permanent fuser damage, not covered under warranty.
Properties such as weight, composition, grain and moisture content are
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following factors.
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described in print media specifications (See "Print media specifications"
on page 142).
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper and more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
•
•
Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of the
sheets characteristics, improper handling, unacceptable
temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which
cannot be controlled.
Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it
meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause
problems requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the
warranty or service agreements.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media
type used (See "Print media specifications" on page 142).

To print an envelope, the stamp area is on the left side and the end of the
envelope with the stamp area enters the printer first.
Media and tray_ 68
•
•
•
•
•
•
When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors.
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m2 otherwise, jams may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm (0.24 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor
damaged.
- Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
Do not use stamped envelopes.
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.
•
•
•
•
•
Transparency with static electricity can cause image quality
problems.
Depending on the selection or storage conditions of the
transparency, jam or image scratch might occur.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for laser printers.
•
•
Recommended media: Xerox 3R91331 (A4), Xerox 3R2780 (Letter).
Base type transparency (ex. Xerox 3R91331) results in better image
and paper handling quality than paper backed (ex. Xerox 3R3028) or
removable stripe (3R3108) ones.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s
fusing temperature about 170°C(338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or jams, and may even
damage the fuser.
For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.59
inches) from the edges of the envelope.
Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparencies
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser
printers.
•
•
•
When selecting labels, consider the following factors.
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your
machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F)).
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between
them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm
(0.51 inches) of curl in any direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can
cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to
machine components.
Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the
machine.
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are
wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.
CardStock/Custom-sized paper
Postcards, cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with your
machine.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
machine’s fusing temperature.
Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies
carefully.
To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged
sunlight.
Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn
edges.
Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the
printed sheets stack up as they are printed out.
•
•
Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 160 mm
(6.30 inches) long.
In software applications, set the margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.

Letterhead/Preprinted paper
•
•
•
•
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that
will not melt, vaporize or release hazardous emissions when subjected
to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your
machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature about 170°C (338
°F).
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect machine rollers.
Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to
prevent changes during storage.
Before you load letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted
paper, reducing print quality.

Using overlay
An overlay is content you store on your hard disk drive that can be
superimposed over any document you print. An overlay is often used to take
the place of letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you
can create an overlay containing exactly the 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
machine, instead you can just print the letterhead overlay on your
document.
The resolution of the overlay document must match the resolution
of the original print job.
