Important Precautions and Safety Information
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.
When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and
injury to people:
14. Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, PC and
AC wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Use common sense whenever operating electrical
appliances.
•When any part of the power cord, plug or
connecting cable is damaged or frayed.
3. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
machine and in the literature accompanying the
machine.
•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.
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.
•If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet
appears damaged.
•If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct
change in performance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
This can diminish performance, and may result in the
risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Use only No.26 AWG or larger telephone line cord.
Laser Safety Statement
10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone
or PC interface cords.
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the
requirements of DHHS 21 CFR, chapter 1 Subchapter J for Class
I(1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser
product conforming to the requirements of IEC 825.
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.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The
laser system and printer are designed so there is never any
human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during
normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service
condition.
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.

Gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the
toner.
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.
Thoroughly rolling the cartridge will assure maximum
copies per cartridge.
NOTE: 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.
CAUTIONS:
• 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.
NOTE: 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.)
Unfold the toner cartridge handle and grasp it. Insert the
cartridge in the machine until it snaps into place.
Loading Paper
The tray can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2

Paper Handling
Selecting Print Materials
• 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.
• Loading Paper
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Verifying an Output Location
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the tray.
This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print
materials and loading them into your machine.
This chapter includes:
• 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.
CAUTION: 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.

Paper Handling
Guidelines for Paper and Special
Materials
To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.
Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser
printers.
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
material, keep these guidelines in mind:
Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or
have any torn edges.
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with
the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on
page 10.3.
• For labels:
Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 200 oC (392 o F) for 0.1 second.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn
paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
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.
• 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.
Do not load a sheet of them through the machine more
than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass
through the machine.
• 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.
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:
oC
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)
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15
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.
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.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the
manual tray or the tray to avoid paper jams.
Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or
5 in. (127 mm) long.
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in
laser printers.
• For preprinted paper:
• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and
label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they
print out.
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.
• For envelopes:
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well
creased folds.
Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect any printer rollers.
Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moistureproof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, selfadhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
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 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 use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of
these types of paper could result in chemical smells and
could damage your machine.
Do not feed stamped envelopes.
• For transparencies:
Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the

Paper Handling
NOTES:
Loading Paper
• 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 SCX4521F)
• When you press Stop/Clear in the Manual Feed mode, the
print job in progress is canceled.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE: Pull the paper output extension not to drop the printed
paper.
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.

About Receiving Modes
When you receive a fax, the machine answers the call on a
specified number of rings and automatically receives the fax.
• In Fax mode, the machine answers an incoming fax call
and immediately goes into the fax reception mode.
To change the number of rings, see “Ring To Answer” on
page 7.1.
• In Tel mode, you can receive a fax by pressing On Hook
Dial (you can hear a fax tone from the sending machine)
and then pressing Start on the control panel of your
machine. You can also pick up the handset of the
extension phone and then press the remote receive code
(see “Receive Code” on page 7.2).
If you want to adjust the ringer volume, see “Setting Sounds
(Only for SCX-4521F)” on page 2.11.
• In Ans/Fax mode, the answering machine answers an
incoming call, and the caller can leave a message on the
answering machine. If the fax machine senses a fax tone
on the line, the call automatically switches to Fax mode.
Receiving Manually in Tel Mode
You can receive a fax call by picking up the handset of the
extension phone and then pressing the remote receive code
(see “Receive Code” on page 7.2), or press On Hook Dial (you
can hear a fax tone from the sending machine) and then
pressing Start on the control panel of your machine.
• In DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature.
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which
enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer
several different telephone numbers. For further details,
see “Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode” on page 7.8.
The machine begins receiving a fax and returns to Standby
mode when the reception is completed.
When your machine’s memory is full, the receiving mode
automatically switches to Tel.
For details about changing the receiving mode, see “Receive
Mode” on page 7.2.
Receiving Automatically in Ans/
Fax Mode
NOTES:
• To use the Ans/Fax mode, attach an answering machine to
the EXT. jack on the back of your machine.
• If you do not want other people to view your received
documents, you can use Secure Receiving mode. In this
mode, all of the received faxes are stored in memory. For
further details, see “Using Secure Receiving Mode” on
page 7.14.
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the
EXT. jack on the back of your machine. See “Making
Connections” on page 2.4.
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores
the message as it would normally. If your machine detects a fax
tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive the fax.
NOTES:
• If you have set your machine to Ans/Fax mode and your
answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine
is connected to EXT. jack, your machine automatically goes
into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
• If your answering machine has a ‘user-selectable ring
counter’, set the machine to answer incoming calls within 1
ring.
• If you are in Tel mode (manual reception) when the
answering machine is connected to your machine, you must
switch off the answering machine, or the outgoing message
from the answering machine will interrupt your phone
conversation.
Loading Paper for Receiving
Faxes
The instructions for loading paper in the tray are the same
whether you are printing, faxing, or copying, except that faxes
can only be printed on Letter-, A4-, Legal-, Folio-, Executive-,
or B5-sized paper. For details about loading paper and setting
the paper size in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.3 and

9 is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first
and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle
number to whatever you wish. For details about changing the
code, see “Receive Code” on page 7.2
NOTES:
• 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 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.
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.
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.
To set up the DRPD mode:
“Waiting Ring” appears on the display.
Call your fax number from another telephone. It is not
necessary to place the call from a fax machine.
When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call.

on a clean flat surface.
The Remote Test feature allows your machine to be checked out
by a service company at a remote place by phone.

Press Enter to save the selection.
To return to Standby mode, press Stop/Clear.
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.
CAUTIONS:
• 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.
CAUTIONS:
• 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.
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.
8.2
Maintenance
Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.

With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled
toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge
cavity.
Wipe the surface of the document glass and ADF glass
until it is clean and dry.

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.
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.
Reinsert the manual tray, toner cartridge and close the
door.
Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose
it to light for more than a few minutes.
Saving toner
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.
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
Cleaning the Scan Unit
Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with
water.
Open the document cover.
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.
8.3
Maintenance
Redistributing Toner
CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
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.
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.
Open the front door.
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.
NOTE: 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)
Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.
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.
Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or
six times to redistribute the toner.
NOTE: 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.
