Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

This section explains how to connect the printer to your computer via the parallel interface. For information about the serial interface (option), see Chapter 4.

Notice:

The following restrictions apply to interface cables:

☞

• To comply with regulations for radio frequency emissions, use only shielded cable for computer-to-printer communications.

• The length of the parallel interface cable must be 3 meters (10 feet) or less.

About Interfacing

You can connect the printer to your computer using a standard parallel interface. Many computers have a parallel interface port. However, if your computer does not have the parallel interface port, or for printers used in a network, the following optional interfaces

are available.

User’s Manual 1-17

Page 33

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

• Serial (RS-232C/422A) Use a serial interface if the printer is not near the computer. Many computers have both parallel and serial interface ports. Serial communication can operate up to 15 meters (50 feet). Parallel communication is normally limited to 3 meters (10 feet).

• LocalTalk Use the LocalTalk interface if the printer is connected to a Macintosh network.

• Ethernet C Use Ethernet C if the printer is used in a NetWare or UNIX environment.

For any of these options refer to Chapter 3.

Connecting to the Parallel Port

This printer does not come with a parallel interface cable. You can use a standard Centronics interface cable (sold separately) for this purpose. Your dealer can advise you on the cable you require.

Notice:

Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.

☞

Do not touch any connector contacts or corona wires to avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer.

To make the connection, plug the cable connector into the parallel interface port on the back of the printer. Secure the connector with the wire clips. Plug the other connector into your computer’s parallel port. Consult your computer documentation if you need

Message Display (LCD)

The message display uses a liquid-crystal display representing status and errors by two lines of sixteen characters. In operating mode, it may show:

• What the printer is doing

• Whether the printer is ready to print

• When paper should be added

• When paper should be manually inserted

• When the toner bottle needs to be replaced

• When the print unit needs to be replaced

• An error message condition such as paper jam

PRINTING AND PAPER HANDLING

Error messages inform you of conditions requiring your attention, such as

TRAYn PAPER OUT, COVER OPEN n, or PAPER JAMn.

They also warn you of hardware problems, such as FUSER FAILURE or BD CYCLE ERROR. The TONER LOW message informs you that the toner bottle needs replacement. See Chapter 6 for a complete list of messages and explanations.

In tray select mode or MFF paper size mode, the message display shows the selected tray or the selected paper size respectively. In menu mode, the message display shows menu items and option selections. These modes are explained later in this chapter.

• Types and sizes of paper you can use with this printer, including

envelopes and transparencies

• Ensuring that both the software program and the printer have

compatible paper size settings

• Tips on handling print media

• Adjusting the paper tray to fit a different paper size

• Feeding paper manually

Paper Types and Sizes

This printer can print on a variety of common office papers in addition to standard photocopier bond. Bond paper can range in

basic weight from 60 to 90 g/m and from 60 to 105 g/m

(16 to 28 pound) for the manual feed slot.

(16 to 24 pound) for the paper tray

Smooth paper produces the best print quality, but textured papers usually provide satisfactory results.

The following descriptions also apply to an optional paper tray.

Notice:

When you use thick paper, follow these guidelines:

☞

• When you are using thick paper or special paper and find improper

adhering of toner to the paper, turn the thick paper mode on using the control panel. This mode is invalid for envelopes, transparencies, and labels.

• Turn the mode off when you print on regular paper. Printing

regular paper with this mode on may cause a decrease in print quality or reliability of the printer.

Handling Paper

Although this printer can print on any sheet within the limits stated above, printing area and margin calculations are based on several paper sizes as shown in the table below. Use the control panel to change the supported paper size.

Paper size (logical) Dimensions

When the PCL emulation is used and if the physical paper size (tray size or MFF paper size) is different from the logical paper size (value specified by setup menu of paper size), a paper mismatch error occurs.

General Tips

Observe the following tips when handling print media.

• Do not use paper that is wrinkled or curled.

• Do not use paper with staples or metal parts.

• When printing both sides of sheets, we recommend you to use an

optional duplex unit. If your printer has no duplex unit, use the manual feed slot and remove curls after first printing. Use paper in 105 g/m be wrinkled thus causing decrease in print quality.

• Two-sided printing is not allowed for transparencies, envelopes,

and labels even if your printer has the duplex unit.

Page 76

Handling Paper

Preprinted Sheets

In general, you can safely print on preprinted sheets such as letter-head. However, letterhead with thermographic (raised) printing, embossing, or foil stamping may not work well. The forces used to create these effects (heat and/or pressure) are also used in the printer’s fuser unit. For this reason, the fuser unit may damage the preprinted image.

Load preprinted paper with the printed side facing down in the paper tray. When using the manual feed slot, place paper with the printed side facing up. For printing in portrait orientation, the letterhead should be at the front of the tray. For landscape orientation, it should be at the right of the tray. For more information on printing in different orientations, see the later section of this chapter.

Transparencies

This printer can print on overhead transparency material.

• We recommend you to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that transparencies are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.

The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.

PRINTING AND PAPER HANDLING

• Use materials specially designed for laser printers or photocopiers.

• Always feed transparency material from the multi-function feeder (MFF). Use the manual feed slot of the printer if the MFF is removed.

• To remove curls from printed transparency materials, use correct frames or put a weight on them until they lay flat.

• Be sure to fan the transparency stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

User’s Manual 3-23

Page 77

Handling Paper

Envelopes

This printer prints well on envelopes if you carefully follow these guidelines:

• Use envelopes made of paper in 75 to 105 g/m2 (20 to 28 pound) weight. Printing with envelopes made of paper thinner than this weight may produce wrinkles thus causing decrease in print quality.

• Be sure to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that envelopes are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.

The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.

• Use the envelope sizes shown in the preceding table.

• To avoid damage to the printer, never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, or synthetic materials.

• Feed from the multi-function feeder (MFF). Use the manual feed slot of the printer if the MFF is removed.

• Feed the envelopes with the gummed side of the flaps facing downward.

• Do not use “encapsulated” adhesives, which seal by pressure alone.

• To avoid jamming, restrict the minimum paper weight to 64 g/m2 (17 pound).

• To avoid creasing along the edges, use high-quality envelopes with stiff edges.

• To avoid uneven printing, do not attempt to print on the gummed overlap areas.

• Be sure to feed or load the envelopes with the envelope centered against the manual feed slot. Use the guide of the paper sizes.

• Before attempting large-scale printing on envelopes, consult with your stationery dealer. Also, test the envelopes carefully for consistent, trouble-free printing.

Labels

This printer prints well on labels if you carefully follow these guidelines:

• Be careful to use labels under normal operating conditions. Labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity.

• Use the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that labels are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.

• Use only labels without backing sheets exposed in the printable area. Labels mounted separately on a backing sheet tend to slip, resulting in crocked print.

Backing sheet is exposed.

Feeding Paper Manually

The multi-function of this printer has a slot that allows you to feed sheets manually one by one. Use the manual feed slot to print a document on a different type of paper without unloading your regular paper from the paper tray. You also use manual feed for printing envelopes, overhead transparencies, and labels.

You can also use the manual feed slot built in the printer. The procedure is the same. In this case, remove the multi-function feeder from the printer as shown in the preceding page.

PRINTING AND PAPER HANDLING

To use the manual feed slot, first select

MANUALFEED ON using the

tray select mode of the control panel. Next, start your software program to print a file. Then follow these steps:

1. Adjust the paper guides. Position the left and right upper guides to the width of the sheet. (Lower two guides are for paper stack.)

2. Place the sheet with print side face up. When the printer is ready to print, it displays the message

to prompt you to

size

prepare a sheet of paper. Insert the sheet until it is stopped by the feed rollers. Insufficient insertion prevents paper from being fed or causes skewed feeding.

Insert

Release the paper once it begins to feed automatically. If your file has additional pages, the printer prompts you for another sheet.

Printing on Nonstandard Size Paper and on Envelopes

Most of the control over printing on nonstandard size paper must come from your software program. Programs handle page size specifications in many different ways.

This section provides tips on feeding and using non standard paper with your Fujitsu printer.

Considerations on Paper Size

The following considerations apply:

• For envelopes and other nonstandard paper sizes, use the manual feed slot.

• Using the control panel, select a paper size that is equal to or larger than the physical size of the nonstandard size paper. Otherwise, part of the printed image may be cut off.

Selecting a paper size larger than the physical paper may result in data running off the edges of the paper. This can affect print quality and shorten the life of the print unit. To avoid this problem, adjust the page setup in your program so the print data falls within the limits of the physical page and center the paper in the manual feed slot.

Page Orientation

Figure 3-4 illustrates the two orientations and shows the relationship between the loaded paper and the resulting printout. This relationship is important if you want to print on letterhead. In portrait orientation, place the letterhead toward you and face down in the paper tray. In landscape orientation, place the letterhead against the right frame of the tray and face down.

Figure 3–4 Portrait and landscape orientation

When using the manual feed slot, place the paper with its letterhead facing up. In portrait orientation, insert the paper with its letterhead away from you. In landscape orientation, insert the paper with its letterhead on the right hand side.

Some software programs allow you to print both portrait and landscape information on a single page. The function that allows you to do this is usually called something like “text rotation.” Consult your software documentation for information.
