Caution
Before moving the machine, turn the power off and disconnect all
cords. The information below are only suggestions based on the
units weight.
If you have a medical condition that prevents you from lifting, do
not lift the machine. Ask for help, and always use the appropriate
amount of people to lift the device safely.
Then lift the machine:
• If the machine weighs under 20 kg (44.09 lbs), lift with 1 person.

with 2 people.
• If the machine weighs more than 40 kg (88.18 lbs), lift with 4 or
more people.
The machine could fall, causing injury or machine damage.
Choose a flat surface with enough space for ventilation to place
the machine. Also consider the space required to open the cover
and trays.
The place should be well-ventilated and be far from direct light,
heat, and humidity.
When using the machine for a long period of time or printing a
large number of pages in a non-ventilated space, it could pollute
the air and be harmful to your health. Place the machine in a well-
ventilated space or open a window to circulate the air periodically.
Do not place the machine on an unstable surface.

outlet.
Otherwise, this could result in electric shock or fire.
Use the power cord supplied with your machine for safe
operation. If you are using a cord which is longer than 2 meters (6
feet) with a 110V machine, then the gauge should be 16 AWG or
larger.

1. Introduction
When storing supplies such as toner cartridges, keep them away
from children.
Toner dust can be dangerous if inhaled or ingested.
For supplies that contain toner dust (toner cartridge, waste toner
bottle, imaging unit, etc.) follow the instructions below.
• When disposing of the supplies, follow the instructions for
disposal. Refer to the reseller for disposal instructions.
• Do not wash the supplies.
• For a waste toner bottle, do not reuse it after emptying the
bottle.
If you do not follow the instructions above, it may cause machine
malfunction and environmental pollution. The warranty does not

Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature
about 170°C (338°F).
-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: 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.
• 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.
Card stock/ Custom-sized paper
• In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.

2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
• Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
• Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.
• Before you load 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.

Setting the paper size and type
After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type using the
control panel buttons.
The paper setting in the machine and driver should match to print without
a paper mismatch error.

Using the output support
The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a large number
of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the surface, and do not
allow children near it.
The printed pages stack on the output support, and the output support will help
the printed pages to align. The printer sends output to the output tray by

- Curled or rolled paper
- Torn paper
• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.

before loading.
• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.
• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents with other
unusual characteristics.

Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or the document feeder to load an original for
copying, scanning, and sending a fax.
Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending
on its options or models. Check your machine type (see "Front view" on
page 21).
On the scanner glass
Using the scanner glass, you can copy or scan originals. You can get the best
scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images. Make sure that no
originals are in the document feeder. If an original is detected in the document
feeder, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass.

2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality and
toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout. Always
keep it clean (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 88).
• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the scanner lid
until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the lid. If the
book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, start copying with the scanner
lid open.
• Be careful not to break the scanner glass. You may get hurt.
• Do not put hands while closing the scanner lid. The scanner lid may fall
on your hands and get hurt.
• Do not look into the light from inside of the scanner while copying or
scanning. It is harmful to eyes.
In the document feeder
1Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before
loading originals.
2 Load the original face up into the document feeder input tray. Make sure
that the bottom of the original stack matches the paper size marked on
the document input tray.
