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.

9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.

This can diminish performance, 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 complies 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

socket.

Getting Started

2.2

Remove the packing tape from the front, back, and sides

of the machine.

Selecting a Location

Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air

circulation. Allow extra space for opening doors and trays.

The area should be well-ventilated and away from direct

sunlight or sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the

machine close to the edge of your desk or table.

Clearance Space

•Front: 19 in./482.6 mm (enough space so that the tray

and door can be opened)

•Back: 3.9 in./100 mm (enough space for ventilation)

Installing the Toner Cartridge

Open the front door.

Remove the toner cartridge from its bag and remove the

paper protecting the cartridge by pulling the packing tape.

Getting Started

2.3

Gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the

toner.

Thoroughly rolling the cartridge will assure maximum

copies per cartridge.

OTE

: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth

and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

AUTIONS

• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to

light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of

paper, if left exposed for more than a few minutes.

• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use

the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

Unfold the toner cartridge handle and grasp it. Insert the

cartridge in the machine until it snaps into place.

OTE

: Carefully insert or pull out the toner cartridge not to

scratch against the printer.

Close the front door. Make sure that the door is securely

closed. If the cover is not firmly closed, printing errors

may occur when you print.

OTE

: When printing text at 5% coverage, you can expect a toner

cartridge life of approximately 3,000 pages. (1,000 pages for the

toner cartridge that is shipped with the machine.)

Loading Paper

The tray can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of 20 lb (

75 g/m2

bond) plain paper.

Make sure that all four corners are flat in the tray.

Pay attention not to overload paper. Paper overloading

may cause paper jams.

Pinch the rear guide to adjust for the paper length and

pinch the side guide to slide it to the edge of the paper.

OTES

• Do not push the paper side guide far enough to cause the

materials to warp.

• If you do not adjust the paper side guide, it may cause paper

jams.

If necessary, close the paper cover to keep the paper

loaded in the tray from dust.

LINE

jack on the machine and the other end into the wall

jack.

If you want to use your machine to receive both faxes and

voice calls, you will need to connect a telephone and/or

answering machine to your machine.

To the wall jack

Getting Started

2.5

Plug the cord of your extension phone or answering

machine into the

EXT.

jack.

UK users should plug the cord of the extension phone into

the supplied TAM lead and plug the cord of the TAM lead

into the

EXT.

jack on the back of your machine.

OTES

• Use the TAM lead and the telephone line cord supplied with

your machine.

• In the United Kingdom, if a three-wire type (SHUNT-wire,

older equipment) telephone or answering machine is

3Paper 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

• Verifying an Output Location

Selecting Print Materials

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

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

materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine.

See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3. To get the best

possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

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

paper adjusters of the tray.

• Weight: 16 ~ 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m2 bond) for the tray with

multi-pages feeding, and 16 ~ 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m2

bond) for the manual tray and tray with single page

feeding.

• 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 10.2 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 10.3.

• 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

manual tray or the 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.

Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers.

Before loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they

are undamaged and are not stuck together.

Do not feed stamped envelopes.

• For transparencies:

Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the

machine.

Do not leave them in the 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.

Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser

printers.

Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or

have any torn edges.

•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.

Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:

Postcards, 3.5 x 5.8 in. (89 x 148 mm) cards and other

custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer.

The minimum size is 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm) and the

maximum size is 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)

Always insert the short-edge into the tray first. If you

want to print in landscape mode, make this selection

through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first

may cause a paper jam.

Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or

5 in. (127 mm) long.

• For preprinted paper:

Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that

will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions

when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of

200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.

Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not

adversely affect any printer rollers.

Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-

proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

Before you load preprinted paper as forms and

letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During

the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

• Do not use

Carbonless

paper and

Tracing

paper. Use of

these types of paper could result in chemical smells and

could damage your machine.

3.3

Loading Paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure

trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while

a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Paper

Type, Input Sources, and Capacities” on page 3.1 for

acceptable paper size and capacity for the tray.

Using the Tray

The tray holds 150 sheets of paper.

Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about

loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.3.

To use the special material like envelope, label and card,

remove the stack of plain paper and load one sheet of special

material into the tray.

Using the Manual Tray

When you print a document using your PC and want to check

the print quality after each page is printed, load the paper in

the manual tray and select

Manual Feed

for

Source

from the

software application.

Load the print material in the tray

with the print side up

Push the print material firmly into the manual tray.

Adjust the paper guide against the print material without

bending the material.

Select

Manual Feed

for

Source

from the software

application, and then select the correct paper size and

type. For details, see

Software User’s Guide

Operate printing.

The display shows “Add Paper & Press Start” then press

Start

on the machine to start feeding.

Printing is started.

If you have multiple pages to be printed, the display shows

“Add Paper & Press Start” again. Load the next sheet and

press

Start

Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

OTES

• When you print more than 20 envelopes in succession, print

speed may be reduced.

• Manually loading paper and pressing

Start

to start feeding is

only available with PC printing.

• Because the Manual Feed mode does not print jobs

automatically and continuously, incoming faxes are stored in

memory instead of printing immediately. (Only for SCX-

4521F)

• When you press

Stop/Clear

in the Manual Feed mode, the

print job in progress is canceled.

Verifying an Output Location

The machine has a paper output location which holds 50 sheets

of paper. The output tray collects printed paper face down, in

the order in which the sheets were printed.

OTE

: Pull the paper output extension not to drop the printed

paper.

When you use the ADF:

• Do not load documents smaller than 5.6 x 5.8 in. (142 x

148 mm) or larger than 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm).

• Do not attempt to feed the following types of documents:

- carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper

- coated paper

- onion skin or thin paper

- wrinkled or creased paper

- curled or rolled paper

- torn paper

• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading

documents.

• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper

is completely dry before loading documents.

Receiving Faxes Using the

DRPD Mode

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which

enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several

different telephone numbers. The particular number someone

uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which

consist of various combinations of long and short ringing

sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who

answer telephones for many different clients and need to know

which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the

phone.

Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax

machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be

answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing

pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax

call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the

extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the

EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring

Pattern Detection at any time.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,

Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line

by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern

Detection, you will need another telephone line at your

location, or someone available to dial your fax number from

outside.

When the machine completes learning, the LCD displays

“End DRPD Setup”.

If the DRPD setup fails, “DRPD Ring Error” appears. Press

Enter

when “DRPD Mode” displays and retry from step 3.

To return to Standby mode, press

Stop/Clear

When the DRPD feature is set up, the DRPD option is available

in the Receive Mode menu. To receive faxes in the DRPD mode,

you need to set the menu to

page 7.2.

OTES

• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number,

or connect the machine to another telephone line.

• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to

verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have

a call placed to a different number assigned to that same

line to be sure the call is forwarded to the extension

telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack.

Receiving Faxes in the Memory

Since your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive

faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a

fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores

incoming faxes in memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying

or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.

Cleaning Your Machine

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below

each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality

problems occur.

AUTIONS

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong

substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

• 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.

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

let any water drip onto or into the machine.

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.

Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for

the machine to cool down.

Open the front door.

Pull the toner cartridge out, lightly pushing it down. Set it

on a clean flat surface.

AUTIONS

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it

to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of

paper, if necessary.

• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use

the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.

Maintenance

8.3

With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled

toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge

cavity.

AUTION

: Do not touch the black transfer roller inside the

machine.

Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the

cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if

dirt turns the white cotton black.

Reinsert the manual tray, toner cartridge and close the

door.

Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.

Cleaning the Scan Unit

Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible

copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of

each day and during the day, as needed.

Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with

water.

Open the document cover.

Wipe the surface of the document glass and ADF glass

until it is clean and dry.

Wipe the underside of the white document cover and white

bar until it is clean and dry.

Close the document cover.

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 minutes.

Saving toner

To save toner, press the

Toner Save

button on the control

panel; see “Toner Save Mode” on page 2.11. 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 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 ISO 19752 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 printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning

message, “[Toner Low]”. You can temporarily reestablish print

quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In

some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after

you have redistributed the toner.

Open the front door.

Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.

Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or

six times to redistribute the toner.

OTE

: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry

cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into

fabric.

AUTION

: Do not touch the green underside of the toner

cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching

this area.

Reinstall the cartridge and close the front door. Make sure

that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed,

printing error may occur when you print.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

When the display on the control panel shows the warning

message, “[Toner Empty]” the toner cartridge has run out but

continues printing. For the SCX-4521F, incoming faxes are

saved in memory. At this stage, the toner cartridges needs to

be replaced.

OTE

: You can set the machine to ignore the “[Toner Empty]”

message and to continue printing incoming faxes. See

“Ignoring the Toner Empty Message

(Only for

SCX-4521F

)

” on

page 8.5.

Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new toner

cartridge. See “Installing the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.2.

Setting the Notify Toner Option

(Only for

SCX-4521F

)

If you set the Notify Toner menu option to “On”, your machine

automatically sends a fax to your service company or the dealer

to notify them. The fax number is preset by your dealer when

you bought your machine.

Notification cases are like this:

• When the toner cartridges is low.

• When critical error occured at your machine.

(Error cases: CRU Fuse Error, Low Heat Error, LSU Error..)

• When notification day and notification pages that are

preset by your dealer have passed.

Press

on the control panel until “Maintenance”

appears on the top line of the display.

Press the scroll button ( or ) to display “Notify Toner ”

on the bottom line and press

Enter

a four-digit password you want to use, using the

number keypad and press

Enter

(If you select this menu, for the first time after purchasing

or after clearing all memory, Re-enter the password to

confirm it and press

Enter

Press

the scroll button ( or )

to change the setting.

Select “On” to enable this feature. Selecting “Off” disables

this feature.

Press

Enter

to save the selection.
