The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal
13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you plug it into a socket.
Important warning:
You must earth this machine.
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
• Green and Yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or
green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

SELECTING PRINT MEDIA
CHANGING THE TRAY SIZE
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines
for use with your machine.
The tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your country. To
change the size, you need to adjust the paper guides.
Guidelines to select the print media
Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide
may cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.
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:
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described in print media specifications. (See "Print media specifications"
on page 78.)
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.

1. Press and hold the guide lock, and slide the paper length guide to locate
it in the correct paper size slot.
Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of
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 78.)

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray
•
If you select Manual Feeder for Source from your software
each time you print a page and
application, you need to press
load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time in the
multi-purpose tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is
still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types
of print media.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into
the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load the specified print media only to avoid paper jams and
print quality problems. (See "Print media specifications" on page 78.)
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into the multi-purpose tray.
1. Hold the handle of multi-purpose tray and pull it down to open. Pull
out the multi-purpose tray paper extension
And place paper with the side you want to print facing down.

When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m2 otherwise, jam may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm 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.
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 for 0.1 second. To view the fusing temperature,
check your machine’s specification. (See "General specifications" on
page 76.) The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or
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 them 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 separates from the backing sheet.
To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the
printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.
Recommended media: Transparency for a color laser printer by Xerox,
such as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780(Letter)
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
•
•
When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your
machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to
view the fusing temperature. (See "General specifications" on
page 76.)
- 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
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.
Media and tray_ 38
•
•
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.

"General specifications" on page 76.)
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.

1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to
cool down.
2. Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean
flat surface
•
To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of
paper, if necessary.
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
3. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the
toner cartridge area.
4. Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge
compartment and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white
cotton black.
5. Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front cover.
6. Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
STORING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
To get the best print quality from the toner cartridge, keep the following
guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready to use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print
jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the
print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by the operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.
TIPS FOR MOVING & STORING YOUR MACHINE
•
While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage
the transfer roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents
such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing quality problems can
occur and cause damage to the machine.
•
When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. Otherwise,
the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, which can
cause damage to the machine or bad print quality.
When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding
the machine securely.

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
• Toner Low. ReplaceToner appears on the display.
• The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing
the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light
printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Pull the toner cartridge out.
5. Close the front cover. Ensure that the cover is securely closed.
TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS
3. Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner
evenly inside the cartridge.
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.
By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided.
When a paper jam occurs, refer to the next guidelines.
• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. (See
"Loading paper in the tray" on page 36.)
Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper
capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
• Use only recommended print media. (See "Setting the paper size and
type" on page 39.)
• Ensure that the recommended side of the print media is facing down in
the tray, or facing up in the multi-purpose tray.
• If paper jams occur frequently when you print on A5/B5-sized paper:
Load the paper into the tray with the long edge facing the front of the
tray. If load the paper this way, printing both sides of the paper (Duplex)
is not supported.
Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
4. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into
the opening in the machine.
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the
machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into

White Spots
If white spots appear on the page:
• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from a
paper falls to the inner devices within the
machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty.
Clean the inside of your machine. (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 59.).
• The paper path may need cleaning. (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 59.)
Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface (drum part) of the toner
cartridge inside the machine has probably
been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge
and install a new one. (See "Replacing the
toner cartridge" on page 74.)
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty. (See "Cleaning the
inside" on page 59.)
Color or Black
background
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See "Print
media specifications" on page 78.)
• Check the environmental conditions: very
dry conditions or a high level of humidity
(higher than 80% RH) can increase the
amount of background shading.
• Remove the old toner cartridge and, install a
new one. (See "Replacing the toner
cartridge" on page 74.)
Toner smear
If toner smears on the page:
• Clean the inside of the machine. (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 59.)
• Check the paper type and quality. (See "Print
media specifications" on page 78.)
• Remove the toner cartridge and then, install
a new one. (See "Replacing the toner
cartridge" on page 74.)
Vertical repetitive
defects
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of
the page at even intervals:
• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you
still have the same problem, remove the
toner cartridge and, install a new one. (See
"Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 74.)
• 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.
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
toner cartridge life. (See "Redistributing toner"
on page 61.) If this does not improve the print
quality, install a new toner cart
The paper may not meet paper specifications;
for example, the paper may be too moist or
rough. (See "Print media specifications" on
page 78.)
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.
A combination of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the toner cartridge needs
cleaning. (See "Cleaning the inside" on
page 59.)
The surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty. (See "Cleaning the
inside" on page 59.)
The paper may not meet specifications; for
example, the paper may be too moist or
rough. (See "Print media specifications" on
page 78.)
The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the
inside of your machine. Contact a service
representative.
The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a
service representative.
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 "Print
media specifications" on page 78.)
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing
processes can cause some areas to reject
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go
to Printing Preferences, click Paper tab,
and set type to Thick. (See "Opening
Printing Preferences" on page 42.)
• If these steps do not correct the problem,
contact a service representative.

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
CONDITION
Background scatter results from bits of toner
randomly 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 in Printing Preferences. (See

NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
•
•
3. Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag.
•
4. Slowly shake the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner evenly
inside the cartridge. It will assure maximum copies per cartridge.
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 underside of the toner cartridge. Use the
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
5. Remove the paper protecting the toner cartridge by pulling the packing
tape.
6. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into
the opening in the machine.
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the
machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into
Disconnect the power cord.
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.
Discharge static electricity.
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.
Activating the added accessories in the PS driver properties. After
installing an accessory such as an optional tray, PS driver users must do
the additional setting. Go to the PS printer properties and set the added
accessory activated.
When installing accessories, the battery inside the machine is a
service component. Do not change it by yourself.
There is a risk of an explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose used batteries according to the instructions.

• For PS driver, select the Installable Options section and set the
necessary options.
6. Click OK.
7. Reconnect the power cord and machine cable and turn the machine on.
If you use the PS driver, you must activate the added memory in the
PS driver properties.
UPGRADING 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 the vacant memory
slot, and not by removing a pre-installed memory module. If your machine
has 64 MB memory capacity and you want to add 128 MB, the memory
capacity expands up to 192 MB. Order information is provided for additional
memory module. (See "Available accessories" on page 73.)
Installing a memory module
1. Turn the machine off and unplug all cables from the machine.
2. Grasp the control board cover and remove it.
3. Remove the new memory module from its bag.
4. 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.
The notches and grooves illustrated above may not match those
on an actual memory module and its slot.
5. Press the memory module into the slot with care until you hear a ‘click’.
Do not press the memory module strongly or the module may be
damaged. If the module does not seem to fit into the slot properly,
carefully try the previous procedure again.
6. Replace the control board cover.

glossary
The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by
understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well
as mentioned in this user’s guide.
802.11
CCD
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan
job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to
prevent any damage when you move the machine.
Collation
802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN)
communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards
Committee (IEEE 802).
Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When
collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing
additional copies.
802.11b/g
802.11b/g can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps; 802.11g up to 54 Mbps.
802.11b/g devices may occasionally suffer interference from microwave
ovens, cordless telephones, and Bluetooth devices.
Control Panel
A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or
monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of
the machine.
Access point
Coverage
Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that
connects wireless communication devices together on wireless local
area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of
WLAN radio signals.
It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing.
For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided 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 higher and at the same time, a
toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
ADF
CSV
An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will
automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can
scan some amount of the paper at once.
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to
exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is
used in Microsoft Excel, has become a pseudo standard throughout the
industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.
AppleTalk
AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for
computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984)
and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.
BIT Depth
DADF
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a mechanism that will
automatically feed and flip over an original sheet of paper so that the
machine can scan on both sides of the paper.
A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to
represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color
depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits
increases, the number of possible colors becomes impractically large for
a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and
white.
Default
BMP
A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows
graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file
format on that platform.
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. DHCP also
provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts.
BOOTP
DIMM
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. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP
address prior to loading any advanced operating system.
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds
memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data,
received fax data.
The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box
state, reset, or initialized.
DHCP
DNS
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information
associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks,
such as the Internet.
Glossary_ 81
Dot Matrix Printer
FDI
A dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head
that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an
ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter.
Foreign Device Interface (FDI) is a card installed inside the machine to
allow a third party device such as a coin operated device or a card
reader. Those devices allow the pay-for-print service on your machine.
DPI
FTP
Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for
scanning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher
resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a commonly used protocol for
exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol
(such as the Internet or an intranet).
DRPD
Fuser Unit
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to
answer several different telephone numbers.
The part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media. It
consists of a hot roller and a back-up roller. 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.
Duplex
A mechanism that will automatically flip 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 of paper.
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.
Gateway
A connection between computer networks, or between a computer
network and a telephone line. It is very popular, as it is a computer or a
network that allows access to another computer or network.
Grayscale
A 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.
Halftone
ECM
Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into
Class 1 fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and
corrects errors in the fax transmission process that are sometimes
caused by telephone line noise.
Emulation
Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as
another.
An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different
system, so that the second system behaves like the first system.
Emulation focuses on exact reproduction of external behavior, which is
