chapter
This chapter provides suggestions for high-quality and
economical printing and information for maintaining the toner
cartridge and the printer.
Topics included in this chapter are:
◆ Maintaining Toner Cartridge
◆ Cleaning the Printer
Maintaining Toner Cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following
guidelines in your mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you
are ready to use.
• 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.
• Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to
replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge
immediately.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minute.
Toner cartridge life
expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of the
toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 %
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages.
(But, the toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an
average of 1,000 pages.)
Recycling toner
cartridge
After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the
instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old
cartridge.
Saving toner
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer
control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the
Toner Save Mode in your printer properties. Refer to “Using
Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6. Selecting this option will expend
the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but
will reduce print quality.
M AINTAINING Y OUR P RINTER
6.1
Toner Cartridge
Redistributing Toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to
temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may
allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge.
Grasp the front cover by both sides of
the cover and pull it toward you to
open.
Remove the toner cartridge from the
printer.
CAUTIONS:
• Avoid reaching too far into the
printer. The fusing area may be hot.
• To prevent damage to the toner
cartridge, do not expose it to light
for more than a few minute.
Gently shake the toner cartridge from
side to side 5 or 6 times to redistribute
the toner.
Note: If the toner gets on your
clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth
and wash clothing in cold water. Hot
water sets toner into fabric.
6.2 M AINTAINING Y OUR P RINTER
Toner Cartridge
Reinsert the toner cartridge into the
printer. Be sure that the toner cartridge
snaps in its place.
Firmly close the cover.
If the print remains light
Remove the old cartridge and install a
new toner cartridge. See “Install the
Toner Cartridge” on page 2.2.
ATTENTION: OPC Cleaning
• After every 500 page printing, your printer will automatically
clean the OPC drum inside the toner cartridge
and produce a OPC cleaning sheet with the toner debris.
M AINTAINING Y OUR P RINTER
6.3
Cleaning the Printer
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every time the toner cartridge
is replaced or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer
free from dust and debris.
Notes:
• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner, on or around the
printer. These can damage the printer.
• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located
underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your hands on the roller can cause print quality
problems.
Cleaning the Outside
Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lintfree cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be
careful not to be let any water drip onto the printer or inside it.
Cleaning the Inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles
can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can
cause print quality problems such as toner specks or smearing.
Cleaning inside the printer will eliminate or reduce these
problems.
Cleaning inside the printer
1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for
the printer to cool.
2 Open the front cover and remove the toner cartridge.
Note: To prevent
damage to the toner
cartridge, do not expose
it to light for more than a
few minute. Cover it with
a piece of paper, if
necessary. Also, do not
touch the black transfer
roller inside the printer.
By doing so, you can
damage the printer.
6.4 M AINTAINING Y OUR P RINTER
3 With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner
from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
Cleaning the Printer
4 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the cover
5 Then, plug in the power cord, and turn the printer on.
Printing a cleaning sheet
Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner
cartridge. Use this process if you are experiencing blurred,
faded or smeared printouts. This process will produce a page
with toner debris, which should be discarded.
1 Make sure the printer is turned on and in the Ready mode and
there is paper loaded in the automatic input tray.
2 Press and hold down Demo on the control panel for about 10
seconds until all control panel lights remain lit, then release
the button.
Note: The cartridge
cleaning process takes
some time. To stop the
printing, turn the power
off.
3 Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the
tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with the dust or toner
particles on it.

Clearing Paper Jams
Occasionally, paper can become jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include:
• The paper tray is loaded improperly or overfilled.
• The paper tray has been pulled out during a print job.
• The top cover has been opened during a print job.
• Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on
page A.2.
• Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See “Paper Specifications”.
If a paper jam occurs, the Paper and the Error lights remain lit on the control panel. Find
and remove the jammed paper. If the location of the paper jam is not obvious, look first
inside the printer.
Output Area
Note: Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your
clothes, wash them in cold water because hot water will set the toner into the fabric.
Pull the jammed paper carefully out of
the output stacker.
7.6 P ROBLEM S OLVING
Clearing Paper Jams
If paper is jammed in the face-up
output slot, carefully remove the paper
as shown.
Open and close the front cover.
Printing can be resumed.
Input Area
Note: If paper has entered the toner cartridge area, follow the instructions on page 7.8. It is
easier to remove such jams from the inside of the printer than the paper input area.
Carefully pull the jammed paper out of
the input tray.
P ROBLEM S OLVING

• Install a new toner cartridge, then check print quality again (see page 2.2).
Solving Print Quality Problems
Problem
Solution
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 toner cartridge life. See “Redistributing the
Toner” on page 6.2. If this does not improve the 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 A.2.
• If the whole page is light, the print resolution setting is too
light or Toner Save Mode may be on. Adjust the print
resolution and Toner Save Mode within the printer
properties. See page 5.6 and 5.11 respectively.
• A combination of faded and smeared defects may indicate
that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the
Printer” on page 6.4.
• The surface of LSU part inside the printer may be dirty.
Clean the LSU. See “Cleaning the Printer”.

Toner specks
• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Paper
Specifications” on page A.2.
• The transfer roller may be dirty. See “Cleaning the Inside”
on page 6.4.
• The paper path may need cleaning. See “Cleaning the
Inside”.
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 kind or brand
of paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.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 these steps do not correct the problems, contact a
service representative.
Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The photosensitive drum inside the toner cartridge has
probably been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of LSU part inside the printer may be dirty.
Clean the LSU (see page 6.4).

Solving Print Quality Problems
Problem
Gray background
Solution
If the amount of background toner shading becomes
unacceptable, the procedures below may help to clear the
condition:
• Change the paper to a lighter basis weight. See “Paper
Specifications” on page A.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.
• Install a new toner cartridge.
Toner smear
• Clean the inside of the printer. See “Cleaning the Inside”
on page 6.4.
• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper
Specifications” on page A.2.
• Try installing a new toner cartridge.
Vertical repetitive defects
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 every 95 mm or 38 mm on the page, print a
cleaning sheet several times to clean the cartridge (see
page 6.5). After the printout, if you still have the same
problems, install a new toner cartridge.
• Parts in 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.
P ROBLEM S OLVING
7.13
Solving Print Quality Problems
Problem
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 from the air.
• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change your
printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have
overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams
can cause this problem.
• If background scatter covers the entire surface of a printed
page, adjust the print resolution through your software
application or the printer properties.
Misformed characters
• If characters are improperly formed, producing hollow
images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different
paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2.
• If characters are improperly formed, producing a wavy
effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it
also occurs on a demo page by pressing the Demo button
on the control panel when printer is ready. If you need
service, contact a service representative.
Page skew
• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper
Specifications” on page A.2.
• Make sure that the paper or other media is loaded
correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose
against the paper stack.

Paper Specifications
Printer and Paper Storage Environment
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.
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 distort. This can cause
paper jams.
As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as
the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental
conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
easily used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for
long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes,
which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent
damage to large supply of paper.
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 helpful 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 (due to the
hygroscopic properties of paper).
• 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.
A.6 A PPENDIX
Paper Specifications
Envelopes
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 lbs), otherwise, 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.
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or
otherwise damaged.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible
with the heat and pressure of the printer.
• Size: You should use only envelopes within the following size
ranges.
Minimum
Automatic input
tray
76 X 127mm
(3 X 5 in.)
Manual input tray

(8.5 X 14 in.)
Note: You may experience some paper jams when using any
media with a length of less than 127 mm (5 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 A.6.
A PPENDIX
A.7
Paper Specifications
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
Incorrect
Envelopes with
Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelope Margins
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.
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Type of Address
Minimum
Maximum
Return address
15 mm (0.6 in.)
15 mm (0.6 in.)
Delivery address

89 mm (3.5 in.)
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
A.8 A PPENDIX
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 4.7.
Paper Specifications
Labels
CAUTIONS:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels
recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the face-up output slot.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or
print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at
200 °C (392 °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.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.10.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand
200 °C (392 °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 4.11.

Frequently Asked Questions About USB
What is USB?
Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to
your computer without having to open your PC. USB uses a
standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like
printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers
the benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and move
devices.
Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended
using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option
to customers who want to print from Windows 98 across the
USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled and properly
setup, you can connect your printer to it or to a chain of USB
devices via a USB cable.
How can I determine if my computer’s USB port is enabled?
11
In Windows 98, select Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.
2 Double-click the System icon.
3 Click the Device Manager tab.
4 Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial Bus
Controller item.
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USB
is properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain,
try connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USB
device. Also, make sure the cable connections are firm. (USB
hubs are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USB
cables.)
A.14 A PPENDIX
If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’s
documentation or contact the manufacturer for more
information on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you can
always use a parallel cable to connect your printer’s parallel port
to your computer. (If you decide to switch to a parallel cable
connection, you may need to remove and reinstall the printer
software. )
Using Your Printer with a USB Cable
Can other users on my USB chain print to my ML-1200 Series
printer on the USB chain?
Yes. Windows 98 allows you to “share” your printer using
software settings on your computer. After others on the USB
chain have installed the printer software for your specific printer,
they can print to your shared printer.
After I install my printer, why isn’t my ML-1200 Series printer
assigned to an LPT printer port in the Print dialog box of my
software application?
USB uses a different naming convention for USB devices. After
the printer has been installed, you see SSUSB:(your printer
name) instead of LPT.
How can I increase printing speed and quality?
When operated on a USB chain, your printer may become
slower if other USB devices are being used while you’re printing.
For optimal print performance, avoid using other devices in the
USB chain while printing.
