Radio Frequency Emissions
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.
xi
•
Consult the dealer or experienced radio TV technician for help.
CAUTION: 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
distances close to the antenna installed. Therefore, the user must
maintain a minimum distance of 20cm from the antenna at all times. This

xii
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
entitled “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Industry and Science Canada.
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.
xiii
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.

Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
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. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating
a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the
specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your
system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval
Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device
in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements.
Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your
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.
xvi
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.

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.
WARNING
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.

PAPER HANDLING
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
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.
CAUTION: 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.

PAPER HANDLING
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, well
creased folds.
- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, selfadhesive 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.
PAPER HANDLING
3.3
- 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.10 for more information about installing the
optional Tray 2.
3.4
PAPER HANDLING
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.
Paper full
Paper empty
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.
NOTES:
• 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.
PAPER HANDLING
3.5
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:
1 Lower the Multipurpose tray and unfold the paper support
extension, as shown.
2 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.
3.6
PAPER HANDLING
3 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.
NOTES:
• 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.
4 Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the
print material without bending it.
5 After loading paper, you need to set the paper type and size
for the Multipurpose tray. See page 2.20 for copying and

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
machine.

Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
Dear ABC
Regards
WORLD BEST
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.
1 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.
