Hold the toner cartridge and lift up the handle part of the
toner cartridge. There is a flexible plastic holder. Remove
the holder out of the toner cartridge.
Gently shake the cartridge from side to side to distribute
the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Grasp the handle and insert the cartridge in the printer
until it snaps into place.
Close the top cover. Make sure that the cover is securely
closed.
Thoroughly shaking the cartridge will assure maximum
copies per cartridge.
CAUTIONS:
• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and
wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum, on the front
of the toner cartridge with your hands or any other material.
• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to
light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of
paper to protect it, if necessary.
Locate the cartridge slots inside the printer, one on each
side.
2.3
Setting Up Your Printer
NOTE: When printing text at 5% coverage, you can expect a
toner cartridge life of approximately 12,000 pages (6,000
pages for the toner cartridge that is shipped with the printer).
Loading Paper
Fan the edges of the paper stack to separate the pages.
Then tap the stack on a flat surface to even it up.
Insert the paper stack into the paper tray with the print

material to warp.
• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause
paper jams.
The tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your
country. To change the size, you need to adjust the paper
guides.
Push the back plate of the tray outwards completely so
that it can extend the length of the tray.
Squeeze the paper length guide and slide it to the correct
position for the paper size you are loading, which is
marked at the bottom of the tray.

Make sure that both the printer and the computer are
turned off.
Connect a parallel printer cable into the parallel connector
on the back of the printer.
Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the
cable plug.
For Network Printing
You can attach your printers to a network using an Ethernet
cable (UTP cable with RJ.45 connector).
The ML-3561N, ML-3561ND and ML-3562W come with a builtin network interface card. The ML-3562W also has a network
antenna which allows you to use wireless LAN interface.
If you are a ML-3560 user, you need to install an optional
network interface card.
If you want to use the printer in both wired and wireless
network environments, you need to install an optional wired
and wireless network card to the ML-3560. For the ML-3561N,
ML-3561ND you can replace the network interface card to one
supporting the wired and wireless LAN interface.
For details about installing the network interface card, see
page 9.3.
Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface
port on your computer, and tighten the screws.
See your computer’s User’s Guide, if you need help.
Using a USB Cable
NOTE: Connecting the printer to the USB port of the computer
requires a certified USB cable. You will need to buy a USB 2.0
compliant cable that is within 3 m in length.
Make sure that both the printer and the computer are
turned off.

Using Print Materials
This chapter will help you understand 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
• Selecting an Output Location
• 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, transparencies, and so on. See “Paper
Specifications” on page 10.2. To get the best possible print
quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:
Guidelines for Paper and Special
Materials
• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within
the paper adjusters of the paper tray.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn
paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part
paper.
-16~28 lbs (60~105
optional Tray2
g/m2)
bond for the standard tray or
-16~43 lbs (60~163
g/m2)
bond for the Multi-purpose Tray
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best
print quality.
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or a
staples.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper
affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing, and
never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the
• 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 383°F
(195°C) for 0.1 seconds without deteriorating. Do not use
paper with a colored coating that was added after the
paper was produced.
specifications listed on page 10.2 can cause problems that
may require service. This service will not be covered by the
warranty or service agreements.
4.1
Using Print Materials
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a
texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• 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
approximately 383°F (195°C) fusing temperature for 0.1
seconds.
• 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.
Using the Standard Tray or the
Optional Tray
Use the print material you use for the majority of your print
jobs in the standard tray. The standard tray can hold a
maximum of 500 sheets of 20lb paper.
You can purchase an optional paper tray (Tray2) and attach it
below the standard tray to load an additional 500 sheets of
paper. See page 9.8 for more information about installing the
optional Tray2.
• 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. They are
unstable at the fusing temperature and can give of fumes, or
cause damage to the printer.
Standard Tray
Loading Paper
Optional Tray2
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure
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 size and
capacities for each tray.
The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows
the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is
empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.
To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the
print side down. For details about loading paper in the standard
tray or optional Tray2, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.4.
Using the Multi-purpose Tray
The Multi-purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It
can be closed when not in use, making the printer more
compact.
Multi-purpose Tray
Paper full
Paper empty
The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of
material, such as transparencies, cards, and envelopes. You
may also want to use the Multi-purpose Tray for single page
print jobs on letterheads, 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, 50 transparencies, 10 card stocks,
or 25 labels at a time.
4.2
Using Print Materials
• Load only one size of print material at a time in the
Multi-purpose Tray.
Load the print material on the center of the tray with the
print side up.
• 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 up with the top
edge going into the Multi-purpose Tray first, and be
placed on the center of the tray.
• Do not place objects on the Multi-purpose Tray. Also avoid
pressing down or applying excessive force on it. The tray
may fall apart from the printer.
To load paper in the Multi-purpose Tray:
Pull the Multi-purpose Tray down towards you.
If you want to print on previously printed paper from the
Multi-purpose Tray, the printed side should be facing down
with an uncurled edge to the printer. If you experience
problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around.
Pull the extender to extend the Multi-purpose Tray to hold
longer paper.
NOTE: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print
material. The print material buckles if you load a stack that is
too deep or if you push it in too far.
Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of
the print material without causing it to bend.
If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper
stack to separate the pages before loading.
Now, the display on the control panel prompts you to
confirm the paper size in the Multi-purpose Tray.
For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid
touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause
print quality problems.
4.3
Using Print Materials
NOTE: Your printer cannot automatically detect the size of
paper loaded in the Multi-purpose Tray. Configuring the Multipurpose Tray with the correct paper size allows you to select
paper by size rather than paper source when you print from
your software application. You do not have to check which
paper is loaded in the Multi-purpose Tray before printing.
This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for
loading in the Multi-purpose tray, except you load paper sheetby-sheet in the tray, send print data to print the first page, and

Repeat this step for every page to be printed.
Selecting an Output Location
The printer has two output locations; the rear output tray (face
up) and the top output tray (face down).
Printing to the Rear Output Tray
(Face up)
The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open.
Paper comes out of the printer face up, with the last page on
top.
Top output tray
Rear output tray
To use the top output tray, make sure that the rear output tray
is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it.
Printing from the Multi-purpose Tray to the rear output tray
provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output
tray might improve the output quality with the following:
• over 100 sheets of paper continuously
NOTES:
• envelopes
• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems,
such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output
tray while the printer is printing.
• labels
• small custom-sized paper
Printing to the Top Output Tray
• transparencies: some special transparencies may have
stacking problem by curl. In that case, please use the top
output tray (face down).
(Face
down)
The top output tray collects paper face down, in the order in
which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used for
most print jobs.
• postcards
• paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) or heavier than 105 g/
m2 (28 lb)
To open the rear output tray:
Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions
as the output tray.
NOTE:
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the
surface, especially for children.
• The top output tray can hold up to 250 sheets of paper.

Printing on Labels
Guidelines
• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing
temperature of 195°C (383°F) for 0.1 second.
• 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, bubbled, 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.
Open the Multi-purpose Tray and pull the extender.
4.7
Using Print Materials
Printing on Transparencies
entering the printer first. Adjust the guide to fit the
width of the transparencies.
Guidelines
• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser
printers.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have
any torn edges.
• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the
print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality
problems.
• Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print
side.
Open the Multi-purpose Tray and pull the extender.
When you print, set the paper source, type, and size
properly in the software application. For details, see the
Software User’s Guide.
For details about setting on the control panel, see
page 3.3.
After printing, close the Multi-purpose Tray and the rear

NOTES:
• If you print on thin transparencies to the rear output tray,
they can be curled. In this case, use the top output tray. If
the problem persists, check if your transparencies meets the
printer’s specifications.
• To prevent transparencies from sticking, do not let the
printed sheets stack up as they are printed out.
• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them
from the printer.
Open the rear output tray and pull the extender.
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).
Load transparencies in the Multi-purpose Tray with the
print side up, and the top with the adhesive strip
4.8
Using Print Materials
Guidelines
• Letterheads 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 383 °F (195
°C) for 0.1 second.
• Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and
letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During
the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper,
reducing print quality.

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Toner Cartridge Storage
To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until
ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty
does not cover damage caused by using a refilled
cartridge.
Redistributing Toner
When a toner cartridge is nearly empty, “Ready Low Toner”
appears on the display and faded or light areas may appear on
a printed page. Also, the SmartPanel program window appears
on the computer telling you the toner cartridge is low on toner.
You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by
redistributing the toner.
To redistribute the toner:
Open the top cover.
Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the
printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose
it to light for more than a few minute.
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5%
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 12,000
pages or 6,000 pages depending on its type. (The original toner
cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 6,000
pages.)
Saving Toner
To save toner, press the Toner Save button ( ) on the
printer control panel. The button backlight turns on. You can
also enable the Toner Save mode in the printer properties
window or from the control panel menu. For details, see
page 2.8.
Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and
reduce your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

• Ensure that the recommended print side is facing down in
the tray and facing up in the Multi-purpose Tray.
7.8
Solving Problems
Solution
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 toner cartridge life. See
“Redistributing Toner” on page 6.2. If this does not
improve print quality, install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for
example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See
“Paper Specifications” on page 10.2.
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting
is too light or the Toner Save Mode is on. Adjust the
print resolution and the Toner Save mode in the
printer properties. For details, see the Software
User’s Guide.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects may
indicate that the printer needs cleaning. See
“Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on page 6.9.
• The surface of LSU may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See
“Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on page 6.9.
• The paper may not meet specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Paper
Specifications” on page 10.2.
• The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty. See
“Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on page 6.9.
If generally rounded, faded areas 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 “Paper Specifications” on
page 10.2.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes
can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different
kind or brand of paper.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. See “Vertical
repetitive defects” on the next page.

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably
been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge.
If white vertical lines appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU may be dirty. Clean the LSU.
See page 6.9.
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the
problem.
• Change to lighter weight pages. See “Paper
Specifications” on page 10.2.
• Check the printer’s environment; very dry (low
humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH)
conditions can increase the amount of background
shading.
• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new
one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on
page 6.3.
• Clean the inside of the printer. See “Cleaning the
Inside” on “Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on
page 6.9.
• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper
Specifications” on page 10.2.
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.
See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 6.3.
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the
page at even intervals:
• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive
mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet
several times to clean the cartridge; see page 6.10.
After the printout, if you still have the same
problems, install a new toner cartridge. See
“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 6.3.
• Parts of the printer 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
Solution
Background scatter results from bits of toner
distributed on the printed page.
• 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 via the printer
properties window.
Misformed
characters
• If characters are improperly formed and producing
hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick.

Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
I can’t change
settings in the
configuration tool.
You need to have administrator privileges to be able
to affect global settings.
I am using the KDE
desktop but the
configuration tool
and LLPR won’t
start.
Maybe you do not have the GTK libraries installed.
These usually come with most Linux distributions, but
you may have to install them manually. Refer to your
distribution’s installation manual for more details
about installing additional packages.
I just installed this
package but can’t
find entries in the
KDE/Gnome menus.
Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop
environments may require that you restart your
session for the changes to take effect.
I get a “Some
options are not
selected” error
message while
editing the printer
settings.
Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning that
some settings for two options can’t be selected at the
same time. When you change a setting and the
Printer Package detects such a conflict, the conflicting
option is changed to a “No Choice” value, and you
have to choose an option that does not conflict before
being able to submit the changes.
I can’t make a
printer the system
default.
In some conditions, it may not be possible to change
the default queue. This happens with some variants
of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that
use the “printconf” database of queues.
When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is
automatically refreshed from the database of printers
managed by the system (usually through the
“printtool” command), and the queues in /etc/
printcap.local are appended to the resulting file. Since
the default queue in LPRng is defined as the first
queue in /etc/printcap, therefore it is not possible for
the Linux Printer Package to change the default when
some queues have otherwise been defined using
printtool.
LPD systems identify the default queue as the one
named “lp”. Thus, if there is already a queue by this
name, and if it doesn’t have an alias, then you won’t
be able to change the default. To work around this,
you can either delete the queue or rename it by
manually editing the /etc/printcap file.
The N-up setting
does not work
correctly for some
of my documents.
The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing
of the PostScript data that is being sent to the
printing system. However, such post-processing can
only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data
conforms to the Adobe Document Structuring
Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up
and other features relying on post-processing if the
document being printed isn’t compliant.
7.13
Solving Problems
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
I am using BSD lpr
(Slackware, Debian,
older distributions)
and some options
chosen in LLPR
don’t seem to take
effect.
Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the
length of the option string that can be passed to the
printing system. As such, if you selected a number of
different options, the length of the options may have
exceeded and some of your choices won’t be passed
to the programmes responsible for implementing
them. Try to select fewer options that deviate from
the defaults, to save on memory usage.
I have CUPS and
some options (such
as N-up) seem to be
always enabled
even though I don’t
pick them in LLPR.
There may be some local options defined in your ~/
.lpoptions file, which is manipulated by the lpoptions
command. These options will always be used if not
overridden by LLPR settings. To get rid of all options
for a printer, run the following command, replacing
“printer” with the name of the queue: lpoptions -x
printer
I am trying to print
a document in
Landscape mode,
but it prints rotated
and cropped.
Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape
orientation option in their printing options will
generate correct PostScript code that should be
printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure
that you leave the LLPR option set to its default
Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the
page that would result in cropped output.
I configured a
printer to print to a
file, but I get
“Permission denied”
errors.
Most printing systems will not run as the super-user
but as a special user (usually “lp”). Therefore, make
sure that the file you have chosen to print to is
accessible to the user owning the spooler daemon.
Some pages come
out all white
(nothing is printed),
and I am using
CUPS.
If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10
and before) have a bug preventing them from being
processed correctly. When going through LLPR to
print, the Printer Package will work around this issue
by converting the data to regular PostScript. However,
if your application bypasses LLPR and feeds EPS data
to CUPS, the document may not print correctly.
On my PCL (or SPL)
printer, I sometimes
get error messages
printing instead of
my document.
Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate
non-compliant PostScript output that may not be
supported by Ghostscript, or even the printer itself in
PostScript mode. You can try to capture the output to
a file and view the results with Ghostscript (gv or
ghostview will allow you to do so interactively) and
see if you get error messages. However, since the
application is fault at probably, contact your software
vendor to inform them of the issue.
Some color images
come out all black.
This a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU
Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space
of the document is indexed 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 7.06
or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at
www.ghostscript. com.
I can’t print to an
SMB (Windows)
printer.
To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers
(such as printers shared on a Windows machine), you
need to have a correct installation of the SAMBA
package that enables that feature. The “smbclient”
command should be available and usable on your
system.
My application
seems to be frozen
while LLPR is
running.
Most Unix applications will expect a command like the
regular “lpr” command to be non-interactive and thus
return immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user
input before passing the job on to the print spooler,
very often the application will wait for the process to
return, and thus will appear to be frozen (its windows
won’t refresh). This is normal and the application
should resume functioning correctly after the user
exits LLPR.
How do I specify the
IP address of my
SMB server?
It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialogue of the
configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing
system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow
to specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will
have to be able to browse the resource with SAMBA in
order to be able to print.
Some documents
come out as white
pages when
printing.
Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with
Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some
known bugs when processing PostScript output from
some applications. Try upgrading to the latest version
of CUPS (at least 1.1.14). Some RPM packages for
most popular distributions are provided as a
convenience with this Linux Printing Package.

Configuring IPX Frame Types
On IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare),
the format of network communication frames must be specified
on the printer. In most cases, you can keep the default setting
“Auto”. However, you can manually set the frame type format,
if required.
Restoring the Network Configuration
• AUTO (default): Automatically senses and limits the
frame type to the first one detected.
• EN_8023: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3
frames. All others will be counted and discarded.
• EN_II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet
Frames. All others will be counted and discarded.
• EN_8022: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2
with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be counted and
discarded.
• EN_SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with
IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be counted and
discarded.
You can return the network configuration to its default settings.

for the specified network and will adapt its channel to the
one detected. Default setting is 10.
• Authentication: “Open System” or “Shared Key”. The
Samsung print server is not configured for network
authentication (Open System). If required by your
network, the proper authentication method must be
configured on the print server.
• Encryption: “None”, “64-bit WEP”, or “128-bit WEP”.
Default setting is “None”. If your network uses WEP
encryption keys, you must configure the encryption keys.
You can configure up to four keys. The active key must
match the value and active key position (for example,
Key 1) configured on other wireless devices.
• Using Key: Select the key to use in your network.

letters.
• Operation Mode: “Ad-Hoc” mode allows the wireless
devices to communicate directly with each other. This is
the default operating mode for the print server.
If your network uses an Access Point, you must reconfigure
the operation mode to “Infra”. “Infra” mode allows both
wireless and cabled computers to send files to the printer
through an Access Point.
If you select “Auto”, the print server selects the operation
mode automatically according to the network cable’s
connection each time it boots up. If the network cable is
detected, the print server enters “Ad-Hoc” mode; if not,

book binding.
• Short Edge, which is the type often used with calendars.
NOTES:
• Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies,
envelopes, or thick paper. Paper jamming and damage to the
printer may result.
• To use double-sided printing, you can use only the following
paper sizes: A4, Letter, Legal, and Folio, with a weight of
20~24lbs (75~90g/m2).
There are two ways to enable or disable the double-sided
printing:
Using the Control Panel Menu
You can use the Duplex item in the Layout menu for doublesided printing. After setting the item, set the Duplex Margin
item in the same menu, if necessary.

* The printer supports a wide range of media sizes. See “Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Materials” on page 4.9.
**Capacity may vary depending on media weight and thickness, and environmental conditions.
***Smoothness: 100 to 250 (Sheffield)
NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials
with a length of less than 127 mm (5.0 in.). For optimum
performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the
paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage
Environment” on page 10.4.
NOTES:
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature
inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the
paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use
inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (195
°C or 383 °F for 0.1 second).

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition
is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45%
to 55%. The following guidelines should be considered when
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to
rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the
printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only
the amount of paper to be used during the day’s
operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within
a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not
exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat
with less than 6 mm (0.25 in) curl, and should not
contain air.
Printer and Paper Storage
Environment
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or
otherwise damaged.
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed
operation.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are
compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer.
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.
Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses
moisture rapidly.
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following
size ranges.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to
condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners
remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened
and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.
Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to
increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any
excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as
paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This
can cause paper jams.

Multi-purpose
Tray

Maximum

(8.5 x 14 in)
NOTES:
• Use only the Multi-purpose Tray to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media
with a length less than 127 mm (5.0 in). This may be caused
by paper that has been affected by environmental
conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are
storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to
“Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.4.
Labels
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both
ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style
may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the
way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Correct
CAUTIONS:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended
for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-purpose Tray
to print labels and always use the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and
never print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195
°C (383 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
Incorrect
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more
than 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction.
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even
damage the fuser.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.7.
Transparencies
Envelope Margins
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Type of Address
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or
other indications of separation.
Minimum
Maximum
Return address
15 mm (0.6 in.)
51 mm (2 in.)
Delivery address
51 mm (2 in.)
89 mm (3.5 in.)
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand
140 °C (284 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.8.
NOTES:
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm
(0.6 in) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams
meet.
Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.6.
