Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed

to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to people:

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

3. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature

accompanying the machine.

4. If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the

safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you

cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for

assistance.

5. Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket and/or telephone jack before

cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for

cleaning.

6. Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing

serious damage.

7. Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air

conditioner or ventilation duct.

8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your machine where

the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone or PC interface cords.

11. Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet

openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or

shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.

12. Your machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for

the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type machine). In this case,

replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, by holding and

moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.

13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a

qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect

reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

14. Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, PC and AC wall outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When any part of the power cord, plug or connecting cable is damaged or

frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into the machine.

• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

15. Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive

work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal operation.

16. Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of

electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power and telephone cord

for the duration of the lightning storm.

17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

18. Use only No.26 AWG or larger telephone line cord.

Radio Frequency Emissions

FCC Information to the User

This device copmlies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions:

•This device may not cause harmful interference, and

•This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or experienced radio TV technician for help.

AUTION

Change or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Canadian Radio Interference Regulations

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions

from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard

appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur:

“Appareils Numériques”, ICES-003 édictée par l’Industrie et Sciences Canada.

xiii

Fax Branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to

use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone

facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or

bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission the following

information:

(1) the date and time of transmission

(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the

message; and

(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or

individual.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,

equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the

operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC

Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal

equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or

require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially

affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing,

to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may

be found on t he label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some insta nces

you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on

the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the

line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in

problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is

called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your

telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the

telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If

any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately

remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

WARNING:

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly

approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this

equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone

network, the telephone company should notify the customer that service may be

stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily

cease service, providing that they:

a) promptly notify the customer.

b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication

Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E

of Part 68.

xiv

You should also know that:

• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as

your machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all

the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular

telephone, share the line with your machine.

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we

recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone

lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and

electronic specialty stores.

• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency

numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service

dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on

how to actually test the emergency number.

• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.

• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

• You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a

standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting

print materials and loading them into your machine.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting Print Materials

• Loading Paper

• Selecting an Output Location

APER

ANDLING

3.2

Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,

envelopes, labels, transparencies, and etc.. Always use print

materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine.

See “Paper Specifications” on page D.6. 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 your project.

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the

paper adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:

- 16 ~ 24 lb (60 ~ 90 g/m2) bond for the standard paper

tray (Tray 1) and optional paper tray (Tray 2)

- 16 ~ 43 lb (60 ~ 163 g/m2) bond for the Multipurpose

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.

AUTION

: Using print materials that does not conform to the

specifications listed on page D.9 may cause problems that may

require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or

service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special

material, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with

the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on

page D.6.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn

paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print

quality.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a

texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may

occur.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use.

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 it away from moisture, or

other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 oC

and 30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be

between 10 % and 70 %.

• During storage, you should use a moisture-proof wrap,

such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and

moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the

Multipurpose tray to avoid paper jams.

• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in

laser printers.

• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and

label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they

print out.

•For envelopes:

- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well

creased folds.

- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-

adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• For transparencies:

- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from

the machine.

APER

ANDLING

3.4

- Do not leave them 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.

•For labels:

- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing

temperature of 200 oC (392 o F) for 0.1 second.

- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material

between them. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel

off during printing, which can cause paper jams.

Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine

components.

- Do not load a sheet of them through the machine more

than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one

pass through the machine.

- Do not use labels that are separating from the backing

sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.

• Do not use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of

these types of paper could result in chemical smells and

could damage your machine.

Loading Paper

In the Standard Tray

Load the print material you use for the majority of your print

jobs in the standard tray.

The standard tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb

plain paper.

You can purchase an optional paper tray (Tray 2) and attach it

below the standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of

paper. See page C.5 for more information about installing the

optional Tray 2.

APER

ANDLING

3.5

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

side to be printed on face down.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down.

The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the

front of the tray.

For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading

Paper” on page 2.7.

OTES

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a

time in the Multipurpose tray.

• You can load up to 150 sheets of previously printed paper. The

printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the

front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper

around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

In the Multipurpose Tray

The Multipurpose tray can hold several sizes and types of print

material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and

envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or

colored paper. You can load approximately 50 sheets of plain

paper, 5 envelopes, 5 transparencies, 5 sheets of card stock, or

5 labels at a time.

To load print material in the Multipurpose tray:

Lower the Multipurpose tray and unfold the paper support

extension, as shown.

If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper

stack to separate the pages before loading.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid

touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause

print quality problems.

APER

ANDLING

3.7

Load the print material

with the side to be printed on

facing up

For envelopes, load them with the flap side down and with

the stamp area on the top left side.

OTES

• If envelopes jam while printing, try reducing the number of

envelopes in the Multipurpose tray.

• If you want to print on previously printed paper from the

Multipurpose tray, the printed side should be facing down with an

uncurled edge toward the machine. If you experience problems

with the paper feeding, turn the paper around.

Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the

print material without bending it.

After loading paper, you need to set the paper type and size

for the Multipurpose tray. See page 2.20 for copying and

faxing or page 4.6 for PC-printing.

OTE

: The settings made from the printer driver override the

settings on the control panel.

If you want the machine to stack the printed pages on the

rear output slot, open the rear door to use the rear output

slot.

AUTION

: Make sure to open the rear output slot when you print

on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the machine.

After printing, fold away the paper support extension and

close the Multipurpose tray.

Using the Manual Feed Mode

You can manually load a sheet of print material in the

Multipurpose tray if you select

Manual Feed

in the

Source

option from the

Paper

tab when you change print settings to

Tips on Using the Multipurpose Tray

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the

Multipurpose tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is

still paper in the Multipurpose tray. This also applies to

other types of print materials.

• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge

going into the Multipurpose tray first and be placed in the

center of the tray.

• Always load only the print materials specified in the

Specifications on page D.6 to avoid paper jams and print

quality problems.

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before

loading them into the Multipurpose tray.

• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.) sized

media on the Multipurpose tray, open the rear door to use

the rear output slot.

• Make sure to open the rear door when you print on

transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the

machine.

• If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the

paper around the tray again.

APER

ANDLING
