problems occur.
NOTE
: While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to
touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge.
Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
CAUTIONS
: Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with surfactants
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent or other strong
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

Cleaning the Outside
Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You
can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to
be let any water drip onto the machine or inside of it.
Cleaning the Inside
During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can
accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print
quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning
the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.
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,
lightly pushing it down.
3
With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled
toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge
cavity.
CAUTION
: 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. Do not touch the black transfer roller inside
the machine.

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Toner Cartridge Storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following
guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until
ready for 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.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minute.
Saving Toner
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the control
panel; see page 1.39. The button backlight turns on. Using this
feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your
cost per page, but it also reduces the print quality.
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at IDC 5% coverage,
a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. The
original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an
average of 1,000 pages. The actual number may be different
depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print
a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more
often.
Redistributing Toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks
or light print occurs. The LCD displays the warning message,
“Toner Low.” You can temporarily reestablish the print quality by
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.
M

Open the front cover.
2
Pull the toner cartridge out and gently roll the cartridge 5 or
6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
NOTE
: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets the toner into
fabric.
3
Reinstall the cartridge and close the front cover.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the toner eventually runs out, only blank pages print
when a print job is sent or when a fax is received. At this stage,
the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. The display on the
control panel shows the warning message, “Toner Empty” and
the machine stops printing.
NOTE
: You can set the machine to ignore the “Toner Empty”
message and continue printing. See page 8.11.

Printing Quality Problems
The dirty inside of the machine or improper paper loading may reduce the print
quality. See the table below to clear the problem.
Condition 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 8.7. 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.6.
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too
low or Toner Save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and
turn Toner Save mode off. See page 3.8 and page 1.39
respectively.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that
the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the Drum”
on page 8.11.
• The surface of the scan unit may be dirty. Clean the scan unit.
See page 8.5.
Toner specs
• The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the
paper is too moist or too rough. See “Paper Specifications” on
page A.6.
• The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty. Clean the
inside of your machine and the drum. See page 8.4 and
page 8.11.
Dropouts
If generally rounded faded areas, 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
“Paper Specifications” on page A.6.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing process can cause
some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of
paper.
• The toner cartridge may be defective.

Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been
scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.
See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.8.
Gray background
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight pages. See “Paper Specifications”
on page A.6.
• Check the machine’s environment; very dry (low humidity) or
high humidity (higher than 80% RH) conditions can increase
the amount of background shading.
• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See
“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.8.
Toner smear
• Clean the inside of the machine. See page 8.4.
• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications”
on page A.6.
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See
“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.8.
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 on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to
clean the cartridge; see “Cleaning the Drum” on
page 8.11. After the printout, if you still have the same
problems, remove the toner cartridge and install a new
one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.8.
• 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.

Background
scatter
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.
• 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 the printer properties.
Misformed
characters
• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow
images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different
paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.6.
• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy
effect, the scanner unit may need service. For service,
contact a service representative.
Page skew
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications”
on page A.6.
• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly
and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the
paper stack.
Curl or wave
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and
humidity can cause paper curl. See “Paper Specifications” on
page A.6.
• Turn the stack of paper over in the paper tray. Also try
rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
• Try printing to the rear output slot.

Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its
status contains "(stopped)" string, please, press the Start
button. After that normal operation of the printer should
be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated
when some problems in printing occurred. For instance,
this could be an attempt to print document when MFP
port is claimed by a scanning application.
• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional
components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same
I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous
access of different "consumer" application to the same
MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one
of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the
device. The other "consumer" will encounter "device
busy" response. You should open MFP ports configuration

NOTES
:
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in
some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any
colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing
temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).

Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Ideally, the machine 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 become distorted. This can cause paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be 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 supplies 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
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 considered 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.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its
moisture-proof wrapping. If the machine environment is subject to extremes,
unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent
unwanted moisture changes.
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 90g/m
2
(24lb) or
jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6mm
(0.25in.) curl, and should not contain air.
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
A.10
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine.
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges
NOTES
:
• Use only the manual feeder to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than
140 mm
(
5.5 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 “Paper Storage Environment” on
page A.9.
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.
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
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 machine. The
extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even
damage the fuser.
Envelope Margins
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.) 51 mm (2 in.)
Delivery address 51 mm (2 in.) 90 mm (3.5 in.)
Correct
Incorrect
A.11
A
NOTES
:
• For the 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
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.
Labels
CAUTIONS
:
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the manual feeder to print labels and always use
the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial
sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C (356°F), the
machine’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 13mm (5in.) of curl in
any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of
separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180°C (356°F), the
machine’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION
: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for
use in laser printers.
