Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF)
wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 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, please contact
your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless

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:
viii
Radio frequency wireless communication can
interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft.
Current aviation regulations require 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

4Using Print Materials
This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you
can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the
different paper trays for the best print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Choosing Paper and Other Materials
•Loading Paper
• Printing on Special Print Materials
Choosing Paper and Other
Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain
paper, envelopes, labels, card stock, and so on. See “Printing
on Special Print Materials” on page 4.4. To get the best possible
print quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•
Desired outcome
: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.
•
Size
: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
•
Weight
: Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
-20~24lbs (75~90g/m
2
) bond for Tray 1 or
optional Tray 2
-20~43lbs (75~163g/m
2
) bond for the
Multi-purpose Tray
•
Brightness
: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
•
Surface smoothness
: The smoothness of the paper affects
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
CAUTION
: Using a material that does not conform to the
specifications listed on page 10.3 can cause problems that
may require service. This service will not be covered by the
warranty or service agreements.
Sizes and Capacities
Guidelines for Paper and Special
Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print
quality.
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load any tray while printing, and never
overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a
texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to withstand
the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1
seconds without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a
colored coating that was added after the paper was
produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-
resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing
temperature.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is
packaged or unpackaged.
• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
NOTE
:
Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. These
types of paper are unstable at the fusing temperature and can
give off fumes, or cause damage to the printer.

Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job
is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and
Capacities” on page 4.1 for acceptable paper capacities for
each tray.
Using Tray 1
Load the print material you use for the majority of your print
jobs in Tray 1.
Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of plain A4 or letter-
sized paper.
You can purchase an optional tray, Tray 2, and attach it below
Tray 1, to load an additional 500 sheets of paper. See 9.1 for
more information about installing the optional Tray 2.
To load paper, pull the tray and the load the paper
with the
print side up
.
For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading
Paper” on page 2.4.

sheet at a time in the Multi-purpose Tray.
Using the Optional Tray
The optional tray, Tray 2, can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of
plain paper.
To load paper in Tray 2, follow the instructions for loading paper
on page 2.4.
Using the Multi-purpose Tray
The Multi-purpose Tray is located on the right side of your
printer. It can be closed when not in use, making the printer
more compact.
The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of
material, such as cards and envelopes. You may also want to
use the Multi-purpose Tray for single page print jobs on
letterhead, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other
special materials that you do not normally keep in the paper
tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 10
envelopes, 10 sheets of card stock, or 10 labels at a time.
• Load only one size of print material at a time in the
Multi-purpose Tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still
paper in the Multi-purpose Tray. This also applies to other
types of print materials.
• Print materials should be loaded face down with the top edge
going into the Multi-purpose Tray first, and be placed in the
center of the tray.

• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material
between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel
off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed
adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once, or
print on a partial sheet of labels.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet
or are wrinkled or damaged in any way.
• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the
printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out.

Printing on Preprinted Paper
• Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on
it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a
preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will
not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C
(356°F) for 0.1 seconds.
• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in moisture-proof
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and
letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the
fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper,
reducing the print quality.
To print on preprinted paper:
1
Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.
2
Load letterhead in the Multi-purpose Tray only,
with the
print side down and the top and short edge
first

Managing Toner Cartridges
Toner Cartridge Storage
To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until
you are ready to use them.
• Do not refill toner cartridges.
The printer warranty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the
printer.
• To prevent damage to toner cartridges, do not expose them
to light for more than a few minutes.
Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy
The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5%
coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages
for black and each color. The starter toner cartridge supplied
with the printer lasts an average of 2,000 pages for black and
each color.
Redistributing Toner
When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may
appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed
with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when
one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The
SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling
you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, if you use the
CLP-600N, “Ready [Color] Low Toner” may appear on the
display.
The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner
cartridge until the SmartPanel program window appears on the
computer telling you to replace the cartridge, or the control
panel displays that message (CLP-600N only).
You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by
redistributing the toner.

Clearing Paper Jams
NOTE
: When removing paper that is jammed in the printer, if
possible always pull the paper in the direction that it normally
moves so as not to damage internal components. Always pull
firmly and evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears,
ensure that all fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a
jam will occur again.
When a paper jam occurs, a lamp turns on at the corresponding
location on the Status map of the control panel. If you use the
CLP-600N, the display on the control panel also tells you where
the paper jam has occurred. Refer to the table below to locate
the paper jam and to clear it:
To resume printing after clearing paper jams, you must open
and close the access door.
