FCC Information to the User

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.

xii

• 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.

United States of America

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Intentional emitter per FCC Part 15

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication

devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer

system. This section is only applicable if these devices are present. Refer to the

system label to verify the presence of wireless devices.

Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in the United

States of America if an FCC ID number is on the system label.

The FCC has set a general guideline of 20 cm (8 inches) separation between the

device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include

extremities). This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body

when wireless devices are on. The power output of the wireless device (or devices),

which may be embedded in your printer, is well below the RF exposure limits as set

by the FCC.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may

not cause harmful interference, and(2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any

way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use

it. Contact manufacturer for service.

FCC Statement for Wireless LAN use:

“While installing and operating this transmitter and antenna combination

the radio frequency exposure limit of 1mW/cm2 may be exceeded at

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux

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

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

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 the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances

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.

xiv

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.

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.

printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the

wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is

allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer

believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should

be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device

and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include

extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from

the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

xvii

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common

restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on

commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices

to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also known as

wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples

of devices that provide wireless communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or

services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless

device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen

or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of

wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments

where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the

applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the

wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.

Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling

between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval

authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a

wireless device in the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless

device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields

are in place and the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any

way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use

it. Please contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be

used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact

manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)

MPORTANT

The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and

has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit the correct

13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover,

do not use the plug until you have another fuse cover.

Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.

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.

ARNING

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.

MPORTANT

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.

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/m

) bond for the standard paper tray

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

- 16 ~ 43 lb (60 ~ 163 g/m

) 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 dose not conform to the

specifications listed on page D.4 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

C and

C (59

F to 86

F). 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, 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.

- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time.

Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty

printing.

APER

ANDLING

3.4

- 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

C (392

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.10 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 towards 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

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 changing print settings to print

a document. For details about changing print settings, see

by-sheet in the standard tray, send print data to print the first

page, and press

Enter

on the control panel to print each

following page.

Lower the Multipurpose tray and unfold the paper support

extension.

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 output tray.

• Make sure to open the rear output slot when you print on

transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard

disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on

any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of

preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using

preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the

exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To

print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you need only tell

the machine to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a page overlay

containing a logo or image.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for

use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you

wish them to appear when printed as an overlay. If needed,

save the file for later use.
